A member of MscS-like gene family, structurally very similar to MSL2, 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. MSL3-GFP was localized to discrete foci on the plastid envelope and co-localize with the plastid division protein AtMinE. MSL3 was capable of increasing the osmotic-shock survival of a mutant bacterial strain lacking MS-ion-channel activity.
