FIGURE 5.
The calculated ratios (Rbase/Rtip) as a function of the stereocilia height. Black lines are for actin treadmilling, gray lines are for myosin-VI localization of the DPs to the base. Dashed lines are for a constant polymerization rate, and solid lines are for a polymerization rate that increases with the height according to the solid gray line in Fig. 4 a.
