Structural basis for mechanotransduction in a potassium-dependent mechanosensitive ion channel

Mechanosensitive channels of small conductance, found in many living organisms, open under elevated membrane tension and thus play crucial roles in biological response to mechanical stress. Amongst these channels, MscK is unique in that its activation also requires external potassium ions. To better...
