Structural and functional analysis of two mechanosensitive channel homologues : YbdG - in Escherichia coli, MscL - in Phytophthora infestans
The bacterial mechanosensitive channels MscS and MscL have been shown to protect cells from hypo-osmotic shock-induced lysis. Bacterial strains deficient for MscS and MscL are severely compromised and fail to survive a hypo-osmotic shock. Both channels exhibit redundant function such that re-introdu...
