Auto-Adhesion Potential of Extraocular Aqp0 during Teleost Development
Chauvigné, Francois; Fjelldal, Per Gunnar; Cerdà, Joan; Finn, Roderick Nigel (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016-05-06)AQP0 water channels are the most abundant proteins expressed in the mammalian lens fiber membranes where they are essential for lens development and transparency. Unlike other aquaporin paralogs, mammalian AQP0 has a low ... -
Functional Evolution of Clustered Aquaporin Genes Reveals Insights into the Oceanic Success of Teleost Eggs
Ferré, Alba; Chauvigné, Francois; Vlasova, Anna; Norberg, Birgitta; Bargelloni, Luca; Guigó, Roderic; Finn, Roderick Nigel; Cerdà, Joan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Aquaporin-mediated oocyte hydration is considered important for the evolution of pelagic eggs and the radiative success of marine teleosts. However, the molecular regulatory mechanisms controlling this vital process are ... -
Insect glycerol transporters evolved by functional co-option and gene replacement
Finn, Roderick Nigel; Chauvigné, Francois; Stavang, Jon Anders; Belles, Xavier; Cerdà, Joan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-06-12)Transmembrane glycerol transport is typically facilitated by aquaglyceroporins in Prokaryota and Eukaryota. In holometabolan insects however, aquaglyceroporins are absent, yet several species possess polyol permeable ... -
A multiplier peroxiporin signal transduction pathway powers piscine spermatozoa
Chauvigné, Francois; Ducat, Carla; Ferré, Alba; Hansen, Tom Johnny; Carrascal, Montserrat; Abián, Joaquín; Finn, Roderick Nigel; Cerdà, Joan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The primary task of a spermatozoon is to deliver its nuclear payload to the egg to form the next-generation zygote. With polyandry repeatedly evolving in the animal kingdom, however, sperm competition has become widespread, ... -
Phylogenomic and functional analyses of salmon lice aquaporins uncover the molecular diversity of the superfamily in Arthropoda
Stavang, Jon Anders; Chauvigné, Francois; Kongshaug, Heidi; Cerdà, Joan; Nilsen, Frank; Finn, Roderick Nigel (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-08-19)An emerging field in biomedical research is focusing on the roles of aquaporin water channels in parasites that cause debilitating or lethal diseases to their vertebrate hosts. The primary vectorial agents are hematophagous ... -
Phylogenomic and functional analyses of salmon lice aquaporins uncover the molecular diversity of the superfamily in Arthropoda
Stavang, Jon Anders; Chauvigné, Francois; Kongshaug, Heidi; Cerdà, Joan; Nilsen, Frank; Finn, Roderick Nigel (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-08-19) -
The pH sensitivity of Aqp0 channels in tetraploid and diploid teleosts
Chauvigné, Francois; Zapater, Cinta; Stavang, Jon Anders; Taranger, Geir Lasse; Cerdà, Joan; Finn, Roderick Nigel (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-02-09)Water homeostasis and the structural integrity of the vertebrate lens is partially mediated by AQP0 channels. Emerging evidence indicates that external pH may be involved in channel gating. Here we show that a tetraploid ... -
The vertebrate Aqp14 water channel is a neuropeptide-regulated polytransporter
Chauvigné, Francois; Yilmaz, Ozlem; Ferré, Alba; Fjelldal, Per Gunnar; Finn, Roderick Nigel; Cerdà, Joan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Water channels (aquaporins) were originally discovered in mammals with fourteen subfamilies now identified (AQP0-13). Here we show that a functional Aqp14 subfamily phylogenetically related to AQP4-type channels exists in ... -
A transcriptomic analysis of diploid and triploid Atlantic salmon lenses with and without cataracts
Olsvik, Pål Asgeir; Finn, Roderick Nigel; Remø, Sofie C.; Fjelldal, Per Gunnar; Chauvigné, Francois; Glover, Kevin; Hansen, Tom Johnny; Waagbø, Rune (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)To avoid negative environmental impacts of escapees and potential inter-breeding with wild populations, the Atlantic salmon farming industry has and continues to extensively test triploid fish that are sterile. However, ... -
Unravelling an unexpectedly complex duplication history of deuterostome glycerol transporters.
Yilmaz, Ozlem; Chauvigné, Francois; Ferré, Alba; Nilsen, Frank; Fjelldal, Per Gunnar; Cerdà, Joan; Finn, Roderick Nigel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Transmembrane glycerol transport is an ancient biophysical property that evolved in selected subfamilies of water channel (aquaporin) proteins. Here, we conducted broad level genome (>550) and transcriptome (>300) analyses ...
