Abstract

TMC channels are important for sensory transduction, notably as key components of the hair cell mechanotransducer. In this issue of Neuron, Tang et al. show that the mechanosensory activity of C. elegans TMCs requires the intracellular tether ankyrin, which interacts with TMC-1 through the adaptor protein CALM-1.
