Περίληψη: Mechanosensitive channels are central to cellular responses to membrane tension, yet the structural basis of their gating remains incompletely understood. Here, we determine the structures of wild-type and Gly22→Ser (G22S) mutants of MscL from Escherichia coli (EcMscL) by cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) in peptide-based lipid nanodiscs and complement them with solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements in liposomes to capture their dynamics in a native-like membrane environment. The cryo-EM structures reveal a closed conformation, whereas analysis of the low-threshold G22S mutant by NMR uncovers widespread conformational changes in both cytoplasmic and periplasmic regions. These data indicate enhanced dynamics and conformational heterogeneity in the mutant, revealing the early transitions from the closed toward the open state. Together, our results establish a synergistic framework integrating cryo-EM and NMR to resolve both structure and dynamics of mechanosensitive channels, and identify lipid-protein interactions as key determinants of MscL gating and mechanosensitivity. Our study further provides a quantitative benchmark for computational investigations of mechanogating and lays the foundation for the rational design of channels with tunable gating kinetics.
