PIP5K1C binds PDZD7 long isoform and localizes in the stereocilia. A and B, HEK293T cells were transfected with the constructs indicated on the top of each panel. Immunoprecipitations were performed with immobilized Myc-antibody followed by western blotting to detect corresponding proteins. C, HeLa cells were transfected to express Myc-tagged PIP5K1C and mCherry-tagged PDZD7 long isoform. Immunostaining with anti-PIP5K1C antibody was performed to locate PIP5K1C. DAPI staining was performed to indicate nuclei. D, Cochlear explants from wild-type or Pdzd7ΔPDZ3/ΔPDZ3 mice at P3 were injectoporated with expression vectors to express HA-tagged PIP5K1C in hair cells. GFP fluorescence indicated successfully injectoporated hair cells. Immunostaining with anti-HA antibody was performed to locate HA-PIP5K1C. Phalloidin staining was performed to indicate the stereocilia. Scale bars: 5 μm in (C), 20 μm in (D)
