Nomura T, Sokabe M, Yoshimura K
Biophys J
. 2007 Nov;
94(5):1638-45.
PMID: 17993482
The bacterial mechanosensitive channel MscS protects the bacteria from rupture on hypoosmotic shock. MscS is composed of a transmembrane domain with an ion permeation pore and a large cytoplasmic vestibule...

Nakayama Y, Fujiu K, Sokabe M, Yoshimura K
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
. 2007 Mar;
104(14):5883-8.
PMID: 17389370
MscS is a mechanosensitive channel that is ubiquitous among bacteria. Recent progress in the genome projects has revealed that homologs of MscS are also present in eukaryotes, but whether they...

Nomura T, Sokabe M, Yoshimura K
Biophys J
. 2006 Jul;
91(8):2874-81.
PMID: 16861270
The mechanosensitive channel of small conductance (MscS) is a bacterial mechanosensitive channel that opens in response to rapid hypoosmotic stress. Since MscS can be opened solely by membrane stretch without...

Okita N, Isogai N, Hirono M, Kamiya R, Yoshimura K
J Cell Sci
. 2005 Jan;
118(Pt 3):529-37.
PMID: 15657081
In the mechanism underlying the phototactic behavior of Chlamydomonas, Ca(2+) has been thought to control the dominance between the two flagella so as to steer the cell to correct directions....

Yoshimura K, Nomura T, Sokabe M
Biophys J
. 2004 Mar;
86(4):2113-20.
PMID: 15041651
MscL is a bacterial mechanosensitive channel that is activated directly by membrane stretch. Although the gene has been cloned and the crystal structure of the closed channel has been defined,...

Yoshimura K, Matsuo Y, Kamiya R
Plant Cell Physiol
. 2003 Oct;
44(10):1112-8.
PMID: 14581636
Many free-swimming unicellular organisms show negative gravitaxis, i.e. tend to swim upward, although their specific densities are higher than the medium density. To obtain clues to the mechanism of this...

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
. 2002 Apr;
99(8):5643-8.
PMID: 11960017
YggB and MscL are the major mechanosensitive channels in Escherichia coli, and each can rescue the double knockout mutant from osmotic downshock. However, the role of MscL in wild-type bacteria...
