Wu, Yuh-Cherng, A. J. Ricci, and R. Fettiplace. Two Components of Transducer Adaptation in Auditory Hair Cells. J. Neurophysiol. 82: 2171-2181, 1999. Mechanoelectrical transducer currents in turtle auditory hair cells adapted to maintained stimuli via a Ca2+-dependent mechanism characterized by two time constants of ~1 and 15 ms. The time course of adaptation slowed as the stimulus intensity was raised because of an increased prominence of the second component. The fast component of adaptation had a similar time constant for both positive and negative displacements and was unaffected by the myosin ATPase inhibitors, vanadate and butanedione monoxime. Adaptation was modeled by a scheme in which Ca2+ ions, entering through open transducer channels, bind at two intracellular sites to trigger independent processes leading to channel closure. It was assumed that the second site activates a modulator with 10-fold slower kinetics than the first site. The model was implemented by computing Ca2+ diffusion within a single stereocilium, incorporating intracellular calcium buffers and extrusion via a plasma membrane CaATPase. The theoretical results reproduced several features of the experimental responses, including sensitivity to the concentration of external Ca2+ and intracellular calcium buffer and a dependence on the onset speed of the stimulus. The model also generated damped oscillatory transducer responses at a frequency dependent on the rate constant for the fast adaptive process. The properties of fast adaptation make it unlikely to be mediated by a myosin motor, and we suggest that it may result from Ca2+ binding to the transducer channel or a nearby cytoskeletal element.
