      abstract = {The hair bundle, an exquisitely structured organelle of  filamentous actin-based protrusions, mediates the  transduction of sound into electrochemical signals, thus  enabling the sense of hearing. The correct assembly of the  bundle during development is therefore essential to  hearing. This dissertation examines the contribution of a  novel mouse deafness gene, Brain-specific angiogenesis  inhibitor 1-associated protein 2-like protein 2 (Baiap2l2),  to bundle maintenance and function. Altogether, this  dissertation deepens the understanding of the molecular  underpinnings of bundle assembly by adding BAIAP2L2 as an  essential factor for bundle stability and by providing  evidence for Ca2+ as a mediator of how transduction  modulates bundle proteins.},
