The Jack-In-A-Box model of MscS gating. A) Differences in the thermodynamic gating profile for MscS in the presence of intrinsic membrane pressure and extrinsic membrane tension. B) Schematic representation of the Jack-In-A-Box model of MscS gating with helix positions based on the experimentally derived closed and open state structures of MscS [2, 10].
