Voltage-clamp fluorometry to record flow-activated PIEZO1 currents and fluorometric signals

Summary: PIEZO channels sense mechanical forces through conformational rearrangements of a mechanosensory domain called blade. To probe these rearrangements in real time, we have inserted conformational-sensitive cyclic-permuted GFP into several positions of PIEZO1’s blade. Here, we describe the ste...
