Identification and characterisation of a functional aquaporin water channel (Anomala cuprea DRIP) in a coleopteran insect.
Water transport across the plasma membrane depends on the presence of the water channel aquaporin (AQP), which mediates the bulk movement of water through osmotic and pressure gradients. In terrestrial insects, which are solid and/or plant feeders, the entrance and exit of water is primarily executed along the alimentary tract, where the hindgut, particularly the rectum, is the major site of wa...
متن کاملAquaporin-1, nothing but a water channel.
Aquaporin-1 (AQP1) is a membrane channel that allows rapid water movement driven by a transmembrane osmotic gradient. It was claimed to have a secondary function as a cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channel. However, upon reconstitution into planar bilayers, the ion channel exhibited a 10-fold lower single channel conductance than in Xenopus oocytes and a 100-fold lower open probability (<10(-6)) o...

Molecular and functional characterization of a vasotocin-sensitive aquaporin water channel in quail kidney.
Both mammals and birds can concentrate urine hyperosmotic to plasma via a countercurrent multiplier mechanism, although evolutionary lines leading to mammals and birds diverged at an early stage of tetrapod evolution. We reported earlier (Nishimura H, Koseki C, and Patel TB. Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol 271: R1535-R1543, 1996) that arginine vasotocin (AVT; avian antidiuretic hormone) ...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms and drug development in aquaporin water channel diseases: water channel aquaporin-2 of kidney collecting duct cells.
Aquaporin-2 (AQP2) is one of the membrane water channel proteins expressed in principal cells of the kidney collecting ducts. In the basal state, AQP2 resides in the storage vesicles localized in the subapical cytoplasm. Upon stimulation with vasopressin, AQP2 is translocated to the apical plasma membrane by the exocytic fusion of the storage vesicles with the apical membrane. This translocatio...
