Abstract excerpt
MscL, the highly conserved bacterial mechanosensitive channel of large conductance, is one of the best studied mechanosensors. It is a homopentameric channel that serves as a biological emergency release valve that prevents cell lysis from acute osmotic stress. We previously showed that the periplasmic region of the protein, particularly a single residue located at the TM1/periplasmic loop interface, F47 of...
