Abstract excerpt
Mechanosensitive ion channels are responsible for touch sensation and proprioception in higher level organisms such as humans and recovery after osmotic stress in bacteria. Bacterial mechanosensitive channels are homologous to either the mechanosensitive channel of large conductance (MscL) or the mechanosensitive channel of small conductance (MscS). In the E. coli genome there are seven unique mechanosensitive...
