Channel activity of Y. pseudotuberculosis OmpF-like porin (YOmpF) was pH-sensitive.
YOmpF channel-forming potency drastically decreased upon acidification.
Acidification reduced single channel conductance of YOmpF reconstituted at neutral pH.
YOmpF exhibited open-channel subconductance states at acidic pH.
Addition of lysophosphatidylcholine also induced the subconductance states of YOmpF.
