Gene names
Name:mscL
Synonyms:yhdC
Ordered Locus Names:b3291, JW3252
OrganismEscherichia coli (strain K12)
Taxonomic identifier83333 [NCBI]
Taxonomic lineageBacteriaProteobacteriaGammaproteobacteriaEnterobacterialesEnterobacteriaceaeEscherichia

Protein attributes

General annotation (Comments)

Function

Mechanosensitive channel that opens in response to stretch forces in the membrane lipid bilayer. Participates in the regulation of osmotic pressure changes within the cell. Forms a nonselective ion channel of 2.5 nanosiemens conductance. Opens at a pressure just below that which would cause cell disruption and death. HAMAP MF_00115

Subunit structure

Homopentamer. Ref.6 Ref.7

Subcellular location

Cell inner membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein HAMAP MF_00115.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the MscL family.
