Identification of mutations that alter the gating of the Escherichia coli mechanosensitive channel protein, MscK

Mechanosensitive channels allow bacteria to survive rapid increases in turgor pressure. Substantial questions remain as to how these channels sense and respond to mechanical stress. Here we describe a set of mutants with alterations in their MscK channel protein. The mutants were detected fortuitous...
