Biophysical Sequence Analysis of Functional Differences of Piezo1 and Piezo2

Abstract

J C Phillips

Because of their large size and widespread mechanosensitive interactions, the only recently discovered titled transmembrane proteins have attracted much attention. Here we present and discuss their hydropathic profiles using a new method of sequence analysis. We find large-scale similarities and differences not obtainable by conventional sequence or structural studies. These differences support the evolution-towards-criticality conjecture popular among physicists
