Cover Story: MscS is a bacterial tension-operated membrane valve that regulates turgor and rescues cells from lysis. Its fast action is critical for reducing osmotic gradients in the race against water influx. While MscS requires no external chemical energy for activation, the opening rate is steeply tension-dependent and exceeds 104 s-1 at near-lytic tensions. How dissipative is this process? We present MscS as a two-state switch and measure the dissipated heat using a patch clamp in different kinetic regimes. We find that MscS works as a frictionless switch when the characteristic time of the transition is 5 s or longer. In this regime, the dissipated heat approaches the Landauer bound of kTln2.
