Gain-of-function Mutations Reveal Expanded Intermediate States and a Sequential Action of Two Gates in MscL

The tension-driven gating transition in the large mechanosensitive channel MscL proceeds through detectable states of intermediate conductance. Gain-of-function (GOF) mutants with polar or charged substitutions in the main hydrophobic gate display altered patterns of subconducting states, providing...
