The actin filament bundle in the stereocilium of the cochlear hair cell has liquid transverse order, but paracrystalline axial order. A single bonding rule, which determines how a cross bridging protein links neighbouring filaments, accounts for this unusual structure. Such liquid order is possible for bundles of other filamentous proteins.
耳蜗毛细胞静纤毛中的肌动蛋白丝束具有液体横向有序性,但具有准晶轴向有序性。一个单一的结合规则决定了交联蛋白如何连接相邻的丝,解释了这种不同寻常的结构。对于其他丝状蛋白束来说,这种液体有序性也是可能的。
