Inner ear hair cell (HC) structure showing the locations of several Usher syndrome (USH) proteins. The apical side of each hair cell expresses a bundle of highly-organized, actin-filled stereocilia, in which the mechanotransduction takes place. The stereocilia are held together by transient ankle links at their base, horizontal shaft links along their length, horizontal tip links near the top and diagonal tip links at their apices.
