Gene : MSL2 A. thaliana

DB identifier  ? AT5G10490 Secondary Identifier  ? locus:2142414
Name  ? MSCS-like 2 Brief Description  MSCS-like 2
TAIR Computational Description  MSCS-like 2;(source:Araport11)
TAIR Curator Summary  A member of MscS-like gene family, structurally very similar to MSL3, comprising of an N-terminal chloroplast transit peptide, five trans-membrane helices and a C-terminal cytoplasmic domain. Mutant plants showed abnormalities in the size and shape of plastids. MSL2-GFP was localized to discrete foci on the plastid envelope and co-localize with the plastid division protein AtMinE.

Type Comment Proteins
MSL2_ARATH-3 MSL2_ARATH-2 MSL2_ARATH function Mechanosensitive channel that opens in response to stretch forces in the membrane lipid bilayer (By similarity). Controls plastid size, shape, and perhaps division during normal plant development by altering ion flux in response to changes in membrane tension. Acts as a component of the chloroplast division machinery.
MSL2_ARATH-3 MSL2_ARATH-2 MSL2_ARATH similarity Belongs to the MscS (TC 1.A.23) family.
MSL2_ARATH-3 MSL2_ARATH-2 MSL2_ARATH tissue specificity Widely expressed.
