Aquaporins in Plants

open access: yesPhysiological Reviews, 2015
Aquaporins are membrane channels that facilitate the transport of water and small neutral molecules across biological membranes of most living organisms. In plants, aquaporins occur as multiple isoforms reflecting a high diversity of cellular localizations, transport selectivity, and regulation properties.

Impact of the anti-aquaporin-4 autoantibody on inner retinal structure, function and structure-function associations in Japanese patients with optic neuritis - Fig 1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Representative cases of aquaporin-4 antibody (AQP4 Ab)-positive (A−C) and -negative (D−F) optic neuritis in the left eye. Shown are optic nerve head maps (A, D) and GCC significance maps (B, E) from RTVue optical coherence tomography analyses, and gray ...

Boric acid transport activity of marine teleost aquaporins expressed in Xenopus oocytes

open access: yesPhysiological Reports, 2023
Marine teleosts ingest large amounts of seawater containing various ions, including 0.4 mM boric acid, which can accumulate at toxic levels in the body. However, the molecular mechanisms by which marine teleosts absorb and excrete boric acid are not well

The Aquaporin Channel Repertoire of the Tardigrade Milnesium tardigradum [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Limno-terrestrial tardigrades are small invertebrates that are subjected to periodic drought of their micro-environment. They have evolved to cope with these unfavorable conditions by anhydrobiosis, an ametabolic state of low cellular water.

Aquaporin-4 gene silencing protects injured neurons after early cerebral infarction

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2015
Aquaporin-4 regulates water molecule channels and is important in tissue regulation and water transportation in the brain. Upregulation of aquaporin-4 expression is closely related to cellular edema after early cerebral infarction.

Positively selected modifications in the pore of TbAQP2 allow pentamidine to enter Trypanosoma brucei

open access: yeseLife, 2020
Mutations in the Trypanosoma brucei aquaporin AQP2 are associated with resistance to pentamidine and melarsoprol. We show that TbAQP2 but not TbAQP3 was positively selected for increased pore size from a common ancestor aquaporin.

Aquaporin-4 expression in distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles

open access: yesBMC Neurology, 2012
Background Distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles/hereditary inclusion body myopathy is clinically characterized by the early involvement of distal leg muscles. The striking pathological features of the myopathy are muscle fibers with rimmed vacuoles.

Aquaporin‐Incorporated Graphene‐Oxide Membrane for Pressurized Desalination with Superior Integrity Enabled by Molecular Recognition

open access: yesAdvanced Science, 2021
Aquaporins (AQPs), the natural water channel, have been actively investigated for overcoming the limitations of conventional desalination membranes. An AQP‐based biomimetic high‐pressure desalination membrane is designed by tethering AQP‐carrying red ...
