Abstract excerpt
The mechanosensitive channel of large conductance from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Tb-MscL) was subjected to cysteine-scanning mutagenesis at several residues in the M1 region. The V15C channel displayed disulfide crosslinking in air, but not in the presence of 100 mM beta-mercaptoethanol. In single-channel experiments, the V15C channel was more sensitive to tension than was wild-type Tb-MscL. In air, Tb-MscL...
