Tight hydrophobic core and flexible helices yield MscL with a high tension gating threshold and a membrane area mechanical strain buffer

The mechanosensitive (MS) channel of large conductance, MscL, is the high-tension threshold osmolyte release valve that limits turgor pressure in bacterial cells in the event of drastic hypoosmotic shock. Despite MscL from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TbMscL) being the first structurally characterize...
