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 ... -
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 ... -

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 ...
