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 ... -
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, ... -
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 ... -
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 ...
