Modeling of full-length Piezo1 suggests importance of the proximal N-terminus for dome structure

Piezo1 forms a mechanically activated calcium-permeable nonselective cation channel that is functionally important in many cell types. Structural data exist for C-terminal regions, but we lack information about N-terminal regions and how the entire channel interacts with the lipid bilayer. Here, we...
