Allosteric activation of an ion channel triggered by modification of mechanosensitive nano-pockets
How mechanosensitive ion channels, such as MscL, are activated by lipids and physical properties of the membrane remains unclear. Here authors use PELDOR/DEER spectroscopy and identify a single site which generated an allosteric structural response in the absence of membrane tension.
