1.A.22.1.2
Large mechanosensitive ion channel of 151 aas and 2 TMSs. The 3-D structure is known, and it may reflect a nearly closed rather than fully closed state. Modeling support a clockwise rotation of the pore-forming first TMS promotes gating (Bartlett et al. 2004).

Accession Number:P0A5K8
Protein Name:Large-conductance mechanosensitive channel MscL aka RV0985C
Length:151
Molecular Weight:16023.00
Species:Mycobacterium tuberculosis [1773]
Number of TMSs:2
Location1 / Topology2 / Orientation3: Cell membrane1 / Multi-pass membrane protein2
Substrate ion
