Mechanical gating of the auditory transduction channel TMC1 involves the fourth and sixth transmembrane helices

The transmembrane (TM) channel-like 1 (TMC1) and TMC2 proteins play a central role in auditory transduction, forming ion channels that convert sound into electrical signals. However, the molecular mechanism of their gating remains unknown. Here, using predicted structural models as a guide, we probe...
