Abstract excerpt
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae MID1 gene product, Mid1, is composed of 548 amino acid residues, has four relatively hydrophobic segments named H1-H4, and functions as a Ca(2+)-permeable, stretch-activated channel when expressed in mammalian cells. In some conditions Mid1 cooperates with Cch1, a yeast homolog of the alpha1 subunit of mammalian voltage-gated channels. To identify the important regions or amino acid...
