Abstract:
... Synthetic water channels were developed with an aim to replace aquaporins for possible uses in water purification, while concurrently retaining aquaporins’ ability to conduct highly selective superfast water transport. Among the currently available synthetic water channel systems, none possesses water transport properties that parallel those of aquaporins. In this report, we present the first synt ...

Abstract:
... The biomimetic membrane technology may unlock unprecedented membrane separation capabilities to solve the increasing need for clean water. Despite the efforts in exploring numerous membrane preparation methods, the membrane performance achieved to date is still far from the theoretical predictions. To overcome this bottleneck, a deeper understanding of the role of the channels or vesicles immobili ...

Abstract:
... Aquaporins have been shown to be regulated by phosphorylation of serine residues, but the possible role of tyrosine residues phosphorylation has not been evaluated. Changes in the localization of aquaporin 2 (AQP2) in the queen endometrium have been related to serum progesterone levels. The aim of this study was to determine whether these AQP2‐localization changes are mediated by variations in its ...

Abstract:
... Insects are reported to have water midgut countercurrents fluxes powering enzyme recovery before excretion, usually known as enzyme recycling. Up to now there is a single, and very incomplete, attempt to relate transporters and channels with countercurrent fluxes. In this work, M. domestica midgut water fluxes were inferred from the concentration of ingested and non absorbable dye along the midgut ...

Thirteen distinct isoforms of AQPs have been identified in mammals (AQP0-12). Throughout the male reproductive tract, AQPs greatly enhance water transport across all biological barriers, providing a constant and expeditious movement of water and playing an active r ...

Abstract:
... Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) is an important signal molecule produced in animal and plant cells. The balance of H₂O₂ between the intra- and extracellular space is regulated by integral membrane proteins, which thereby modulate signaling. Several methods have been established to analyze aquaporin mediated transport of H₂O₂ in whole cells with the intrinsic limitation that the amount of protein responsi ...
