Barley plasma membrane intrinsic proteins (PIP Aquaporins) as water and CO2 transporters [PDF]

Pflügers Archiv - European Journal of Physiology, 2008
We identified barley aquaporins and demonstrated that one, HvPIP2;1, transports water and CO2. Regarding water homeostasis in plants, regulations of aquaporin expression were observed in many plants under several environmental stresses. Under salt stress, a number of plasma membrane-type aquaporins were down-regulated, which can prevent continuous ...

Constitutive overexpression of soybean plasma membrane intrinsic protein GmPIP1;6 confers salt tolerance. [PDF]

BMC Plant Biol, 2014
Under saline conditions, plant growth is depressed via osmotic stress and salt can accumulate in leaves leading to further depression of growth due to reduced photosynthesis and gas exchange. Aquaporins are proposed to have a major role in growth of plants via their impact on root water uptake and leaf gas exchange.

Identification of New Intrinsic Proteins in Arabidopsis Plasma Membrane Proteome [PDF]

Molecular & Cellular Proteomics, 2004
Identification and characterization of anion channel genes in plants represent a goal for a better understanding of their central role in cell signaling, osmoregulation, nutrition, and metabolism. Though channel activities have been well characterized in plasma membrane by electrophysiology, the corresponding molecular entities are little documented ...

Identification of a Residue in Helix 2 of Rice Plasma Membrane Intrinsic Proteins That Influences Water Permeability [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2010
Molecular selection, ion exclusion, and water permeation are well known regulatory mechanisms in aquaporin. Water permeability was found to be diverse in different subgroups of plasma membrane intrinsic proteins (PIPs), even though the residues surrounding the water holes remained the same across the subgroups.

Plasma Membrane Intrinsic Proteins of Beta vulgaris L [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 1995
The plasma membrane (PM) of higher plants contains numerous proteins; however, due to their low abundance, only a few have been identified and characterized by direct biochemical approaches. The major intrinsic protein (MIP) family is a class of highly hydrophobic integral membrane proteins thought to function as channels that facilitate the passage of

Expression and functional analysis of the rice plasma-membrane intrinsic protein gene family [PDF]

Cell Research, 2006
Plasma membrane intrinsic proteins (PIPs) are a subfamily of aquaporins that enable fast and controlled translocation of water across the membrane. In this study, we systematically identified and cloned ten PIP genes from rice. Based on the similarity of the amino acid sequences they encoded, these rice PIP genes were classified into two groups and ...

Arabidopsis plasma membrane intrinsic protein (AtPIP2;1) is implicated in a salinity conditional influence on seed germination

Functional Plant Biology, 2023
Dynamic changes in aquaporin gene expression occur during seed germination. One example is the ~30-fold increase in Arabidopsis thaliana PIP2;1 transcripts within 24 h of seed imbibition. To investigate whether AtPIP2;1 can influence seed germination wild-type Columbia-0, single (Atpip2;1) and double (Atpip2;1-Atpip2;2) loss-of-function mutants, along ...

A Plasma Membrane Intrinsic Protein Gene OfPIP2 Involved in Promoting Petal Expansion and Drought Resistance in Osmanthus fragrans. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci
Osmanthus fragrans, a native to China, is renowned as a highly popular gardening plant. However, this plant faces significant challenges from drought stress, which can adversely affect its flowering. In this study, we found that the plasma membrane-localized gene OfPIP2 exhibited a substantial upregulation during the flowering stages and in response to

Transmembrane Helices 2 and 3 Determine the Localization of Plasma Membrane Intrinsic Proteins in Eukaryotic Cells [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
In plants, plasma membrane intrinsic protein (PIP) PIP1s and PIP2s mediate the transport of disparate substrates across plasma membranes (PMs), with a prerequisite that the proteins correctly localize to the PMs. While PIP2s can take correct localization by themselves in plant cells, PIP1s cannot unless aided by a specific PIP2.

A New LxxxA Motif in the Transmembrane Helix3 of Maize Aquaporins Belonging to the Plasma Membrane Intrinsic Protein PIP2 Group Is Required for Their Trafficking to the Plasma Membrane     [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 2014
Abstract Aquaporins play important roles in maintaining plant water status under challenging environments. The regulation of aquaporin density in cell membranes is essential to control transcellular water flows. This work focuses on the maize (Zea mays) plasma membrane intrinsic protein (ZmPIP) aquaporin subfamily, which is divided into ...
