The Structure of Escherichia coli MscL and its dimer formation in Nanodiscs

Tim Rasmussen, Julia Isabel Bahner, Vanessa Judith Flegler…·Bettina Böttcher

The paper presents the high-resolution structure of Escherichia coli MscL in nanodiscs, revealing a pentameric assembly and a previously unreported dimeric association.

YnaI exemplifies the diversity of structural gating mechanisms in mechanosensitive channels of small conductance

Vanessa Judith Flegler, Akiko Rasmussen, Rainer Hedrich…·Bettina Böttcher

The paper investigates the structural gating mechanisms of YnaI, showing it opens via radial relocation of sensor paddles and pore shortening, contrasting with MscS's tilt-based mechanism.
