Three HCs in the cav1.3a dataset lacked ribbons to provide a consistent HC lowest point and were not included in this analysis. (I) Summary of the heat map data shown in (H). Most apical quadrant (0–25%): 2.8 ± 1.2%; 25–50%: 17.6 ± 3.6%; 50–75%: 22.1 ± 2.8%; Most basal quadrant (75–100%): 57.5 ± 5.4%. Kruskal–Wallis test with Dunn’s multiple comparisons, **p<0.01, ****p<0.0001. (J) Percentage of max mito located within the most basal quadrant for individual HCs. cav1.3a: 57.4 ± 5.4%, WT: 52.8 ± 4.4%. Kolmogorov–Smirnov test, p=0.77. (B, D–G) cav1.3a data: n = 48 HCs, 4 NMs, 2 fish. WT dpf data: n = 65 HCs, 5 NMs, 3 fish. (C, C’) cav1.3a data n = 28 HCs, 3 NMs, 2 fish. WT data: n = 35 HCs, 3 NMs, 3 fish. (H - J) cav1.3a data: n = 45 HCs, 4 NMs, 2 fish. WT data: n = 65 HCs, 5 NMs, 3 fish. Where applicable, data are presented as the mean ± SEM.

Synaptic transmission-deficient hair cells (HCs) have a larger number of smaller ribbons than WT.
(A) Total ribbon volume in cav1.3a and WT HCs. In µm3, cav1.3a: 0.6 ± 0.03; WT: 0.6 ± 0.03. Standard unpaired t-test, p=0.99. (B) Average ribbon volume in cav1.3a and WT HCs. In µm3, cav1.3a: 0.08 ± 0.003; WT: 0.1 ± 0.006. Kolmogorov–Smirnov test, p=0.0002. (C) Number of ribbons in cav1.3a and WT HCs. cav1.3a: 7.4 ± 0.3; WT: 5.5 ± 0.2. Kolmogorov–Smirnov test, p<0.0001. (D) Relationship between total mitochondrial volume and total ribbon volume in cav1.3a HCs. Solid line represents standard linear regression. (E) Relationship between cav1.3a HC stereocilia length and the average minimum distance between each ribbon and the max mito. (F) Relationship between cav1.3a HC stereocilia length and the average minimum distance between each ribbon and the median mito. (G) Example of ribbons from a WT HC (left) and an example ribbon cluster from a cav1.3a HC (right). Ribbons marked with arrows. Scale bar = 500 nm. (A–F) cav1.3a data: n = 45 HCs, 4 NMs, 2 fish. WT data: n = 65 HCs, 5 NMs, 3 fish.

Multidimensional analysis of hair cell (HC) mitochondrial properties confirms differences across genotypes.
(A) UMAP plot of HCs based on principal component analysis of mitochondrial properties. Variables included in this analysis: (1) number of mitochondria, (2) total mitochondrial volume, (3) max mito volume, (4) max mito cable length, (5) median mito volume, (6) average minimum distance between max mito and ribbons, and (7) average minimum distance between median mito and ribbons. HCs are color-coded by stereocilia length. (B) Same UMAP analysis as in (A), color-coded according to age of the animal. Total HCs, n = 75. 3 days post fertilization (dpf) HC: n = 10, 2 NM, 2 fish. 5 dpf HCs: 38 HC, 3 NM, 2 fish. 6 dpf HC: n = 27 HC, 2 NM, 1 fish. (C) UMAP analysis comparing WT to cdh23 HCs. (D) UMAP plot comparing WT to cav1.3a HC. WT HC data, n = 75 HCs, 7 NM, 5 fish (3–6 dpf, same as A and B). cdh23 data, n = 19, 4 NM, 2 fish, 5 dpf. cav1.3a data, n = 45, 4 NM, 2 fish, 5 dpf.

cav1.3a and cdh23 have similar relationships between stereocilia and kinocilia lengths as WT.
(A) Relationship between kinocilia length and stereocilia length for cdh23 hair cells (HCs). The median kinocilium length from the WT dataset (10.6 µm) was used to compare similarity of the kinocilium–stereocilia relationship for cdh23 and cav1.3a HCs. Kinocilia data were achieved for nine cdh23 HCs, two neuromasts (NMs), two fish. (B) Relationship between kinocilia length and stereocilia length for cav1.3a HCs. Kinocilia data were achieved for 33 cav1.3a HCs, 4 NMs, 2 fish.
