SLC26A5. commonly known as prestin, is a member of the solute carrier 26 (SLC26) family of anion transporters. It is primarily expressed in the outer hair cells (OHCs) of the mammalian cochlea and plays a critical role in electromotility, a unique mechanism that amplifies sound signals in the inner ear. Unlike typical ion transporters, prestin functions as a molecular motor, converting electrical stimuli into mechanical length changes in OHCs. This piezoelectric-like activity enhances auditory sensitivity and frequency selectivity, essential for high-resolution hearing.
Recombinant SLC26A5 proteins are engineered to study the structure-function relationship of prestin in vitro. These proteins are typically expressed in heterologous systems, such as HEK293 cells or yeast, to enable detailed biochemical and biophysical analyses. Key research focuses on its voltage-sensitive domain, anion-binding sites, and conformational changes during electromotility. Structural studies reveal that prestin contains 12 transmembrane helices, with a sulfate transporter motif critical for its electromechanical activity. Mutations in SLC26A5 are linked to hearing loss, driving interest in recombinant forms to model pathogenic variants and screen therapeutic candidates.
The development of recombinant SLC26A5 has advanced understanding of its role in auditory physiology and pathology. It also serves as a tool for exploring its non-auditory functions, including potential roles in cellular volume regulation and osteoclast activity. Challenges remain in achieving native-like post-translational modifications and oligomerization in recombinant systems, which are crucial for its mechanoelectrical coupling efficiency. Ongoing studies aim to resolve its 3D structure and design modulators to treat hearing disorders.
