Structural characterization of the mechanosensitive channel candidate MCA2 from Arabidopsis thaliana.

Structural characterization of the mechanosensitive channel candidate MCA2 from Arabidopsis thaliana.

Mechanosensing in plants is thought to be governed by sensory complexes containing a Ca²⁺-permeable, mechanosensitive channel. The plasma membrane protein MCA1 and its paralog MCA2 from Arabidopsis thaliana are involved in mechanical stress-induced Ca²⁺ influx and are thus considered as candidates f...
