  1. 1. Structural Details of Human Aquaporin Regulation : Three stories of three aquaporins

    Författare :Veronika Nesverova; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; aquaporin; membrane proteins; protein trafficking; water channel; aquaporin 0; aquaporin 5; aquaporin 2; cryo-EM; protein phosphorylation; protein-protein interaction; aquaporin regulation; aquaporins;

    Sammanfattning : Every cell is surrounded by a thin plasma membrane, protecting it from its surrounding. Specialized protein channels and transporters are embedded in this membrane, ensuring selective transport of molecules in and out of the cells. To maintain optimal hydration, water channels called aquaporins (AQPs) are present in every cell of our body. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Structural Studies of the Human Water Channel Protein Aquaporin 5

    Författare :Anna Backmark; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; aquaporin 5; aquaporins; X-ray crystallography; twinning; structure; trafficking;

    Sammanfattning : Aquaporins are water channel proteins found in the membranes of all living cells. In humans, thirteen aquaporins have been identified to date. Many of them have been implicated in water imbalance disorders. Water transport through the aquaporins is regulated at several levels. LÄS MER

  4. 3. The Aquaporins - Expression and Regulation of Water Channel Proteins

    Författare :Maria Karlsson; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Plant biochemistry; immunocytochemistry; overexpression; phosphorylation; aquaporin; water channel; Växtbiokemi; Chemistry; Kemi;

    Sammanfattning : Aquaporins are integral membrane proteins that function as water channels highly specific for water or as aquaglyceroporins permeable to water as well as small solutes such as glycerol and urea. The model plant Arabidopsis thaliana has 35 genes encoding aquaporin proteins. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Structural studies of aquporins in human kidney and plant

    Författare :Anna Frick; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; structural biochemistry; membrane protein; aquaporin;

    Sammanfattning : Membrane proteins are key players in our biology and are links between the inside and the outside of the cell, allowing for signal transduction and transport of molecules. Aquaporins are membrane protein channels that allow water to pass in and out of the cell. Since all life depend on water, their function is vital for any type of organism. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Regulation of glycerol efflux in adipocytes. Structural and functional studies of the glycerol channel aquaporin 7

    Författare :Sofia de Mare; Medicinsk strukturbiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Glycerol : metabolism; Lipolysis; X-ray Crystallography; Perilipin 1; Aquaglyceroporin; Aquaporin 7; Adipocytes metabolism; Glycerol : metabolism; adipocyte metabolism; X-ray crystallography; Aquaglyceroporin; Aquaporin 7; Perilipin 1; Lipolysis;

    Sammanfattning : Glycerol levels in adipocytes depend on the lipolysis, the hydrolysis of triglycerides into glycerol and free fatty acids, and the efflux of glycerol across the plasma membrane through glycerol channels. The aims of this work were to investigate how glycerol levels are regulated on a molecular level by PLIN1, a major lipid droplet-associated protein and a key regulator of the lipolysis by scaffolding for lipolytic proteins on the lipid droplet.
