Roles of Soybean Plasma Membrane Intrinsic Protein GmPIP2;9 in Drought Tolerance and Seed Development [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Aquaporins play an essential role in water uptake and transport in vascular plants. The soybean genome contains a total of 22 plasma membrane intrinsic protein (PIP) genes.

Overexpression of a maize plasma membrane intrinsic protein ZmPIP1;1 confers drought and salt tolerance in Arabidopsis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Drought and salt stress are major abiotic stress that inhibit plants growth and development, here we report a plasma membrane intrinsic protein ZmPIP1;1 from maize and identified its function in drought and salt tolerance in Arabidopsis.

Membrane-mediated protein interactions drive membrane protein organization

Nature Communications, 2022
The plasma membrane’s main constituents, i.e., phospholipids and membrane proteins, are known to be organized in lipid-protein functional domains and supercomplexes. No active membrane-intrinsic process is known to establish membrane organization.

Heterologous Expression of Two Jatropha Aquaporins Imparts Drought and Salt Tolerance and Improves Seed Viability in Transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Drought and high salinity are environmental conditions that cause adverse effects on the growth and productivity of crops. Aquaporins are small integral membrane proteins that belong to the family of the major intrinsic proteins (MIPs), with members in ...

Extracellular high molecular weight α-synuclein oligomers induce cell death by disrupting the plasma membrane

npj Parkinson's Disease, 2023
α-Synuclein (αS), the causative protein of Parkinson’s disease and other α-synucleinopathies, aggregates from a low molecular weight form (LMW-αS) to a high molecular weight αS oligomer (HMW-αSo).

Comparing Hydraulics Between Two Grapevine Cultivars Reveals Differences in Stomatal Regulation Under Water Stress and Exogenous ABA Applications

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Hydraulics of plants that have different strategies of stomatal regulation under water stress are relatively poorly understood. We explore how root and shoot hydraulics, stomatal conductance (gs), leaf and root aquaporin (AQP) expression, and abscisic ...

Aquaporin-mediated stress signaling cascade in plants

Plant Stress, 2023
Environments affected plant growth and development, while their change resulted in various stresses in higher plants. Aquaporins (AQPs) were the major intrinsic proteins (MIPs), which participated in the water channel, and kept the water balance for ...

Aquaporin expression during seed osmopriming and post-priming germination in spinach

Biologia Plantarum, 2013
Aquaporins (AQPs) are proteinaceous channels known to regulate transmembrane water transport, and therefore may be important component of imbibition during osmopriming and germination.

Protein diffusion in plant cell plasma membranes: The cell-wall corral

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013
Studying protein diffusion informs us about how proteins interact with their environment. Work on protein diffusion over the last several decades has illustrated the complex nature of biological lipid bilayers.
