Modelling carbon dioxide molecule interacting with aquaglyceroporin and aquaporin-1 channels [PDF]

, 2013
Aquaporin (AQP) is a family of membrane proteins that enable water and small individual molecules to permeate cell membranes. Examples of these protein channels are aquaglyceroporin and aquaporin-1 (AQP1).

Aquaglyceroporin-null trypanosomes display glycerol transport defects and respiratory-inhibitor sensitivity.

PLoS Pathogens, 2017
Aquaglyceroporins (AQPs) transport water and glycerol and play important roles in drug-uptake in pathogenic trypanosomatids. For example, AQP2 in the human-infectious African trypanosome, Trypanosoma brucei gambiense, is responsible for melarsoprol and ...

Identification and expression analysis of aquaporins in the potato psyllid, Bactericera cockerelli. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Aquaporin (AQPs) proteins transport water and uncharged low molecular-weight solutes across biological membranes. Six to 8 AQP genes have been identified in many insect species, but presently only three aquaporins have been characterized in phloem ...

Cryopreservation of Anopheles gambiae Larvae

Advanced Biology, Volume 10, Issue 1, January 2026.
Advancements in vector control methods have resulted in a rapidly growing collection of critically important mosquito strains necessitating the development of cryopreservation protocols to minimize the risk of genetic drift, cross‐contamination, or catastrophic loss.

Mechanism of CO2 and NH3 transport through human aquaporin 1: Evidence for parallel CO2 pathways

The Journal of Physiology, Volume 604, Issue 1, Page 336-365, 1 January 2026.
Abstract figure legend The figure illustrates the permeation pathways for CO2, NH3 and H2O through AQP1. The panel on the left, with the wild‐type protein under control conditions, CO2 moves through monomeric pores (2 of 4 shown) but predominantly via an alternate pathway (perhaps the central pore of the tetramer).

The mitogen-activated protein kinase Slt2 modulates arsenite transport through the aquaglyceroporin Fps1 [PDF]

, 2016
Arsenite is widely present in nature; therefore, cells have evolved mechanisms to prevent arsenite influx and promote efflux. In yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), the aquaglyceroporin Fps1 mediates arsenite influx and efflux.

Molecular mechanism of Trypanosoma brucei Aquaglyceroporin 2 [PDF]

, 2020
Trypanosoma brucei subspecies cause Human African Trypanosomiasis, which is fatal unless treated. T. brucei Aquaglyceroporin 2 (TbAQP2) is required for the uptake of two of the drugs used clinically, pentamidine and melarsoprol.

Pathogenic Significance of Trypanosomatids: Progress in Drug Resistance, Control Strategies, and Artificial Intelligence

Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Infectious Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Trypanosomatids, including the genera Trypanosoma and Leishmania, are protozoan parasites of significant medical and veterinary relevance. These organisms cause African trypanosomiasis, Chagas disease, and leishmaniasis, which are classified as neglected tropical diseases (NTDs).

Crystal structure of the aquaglyceroporin PfAQP from the malarial parasite Plasmodium falciparum [PDF]

, 2008
The 2.05-Å resolution structure of the aquaglyceroporin from the malarial parasite Plasmodium falciparum (PfAQP), a protein important in the parasite's life cycle, has been solved.
