The C-terminal domain of MscCG is an important component for the membrane tension sensing.
The fourth transmembrane helix of MscCG regulates the gating threshold.
The chimeric channel MscS-(C-MscCG) exhibits slower closing kinetics than MscS.
MscS exhibits voltage-dependent closing at depolarizing membrane potentials.
MscS and MscS-(C-MscCG) tend to remain open at the resting membrane potential.
