BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Aquaporins (AQPs) are a family of channels permeable to water and some small solutes. In stopped-flow studies, all three AQP8 proteoliposomes showed water permeability, which was inhibited by mercuric chloride and rescued by 2-mercaptoethanol. rAQP8 and hAQP8 proteoliposomes did not transport or urea but were permeable to which was also inhibited by mercuric chloride. |

Physiol Plant. 2004 May;121(1):44-49. Treatment of roots with 0.1 mM mercuric chloride decreased root volume flow density (J (v)) by about 29.0% in control and MS plants with no decrease measured in SS seedlings. The results suggest that aquaporin-mediated transport is important in the regulation of root water flow under drought stress and that root water flow properties are strongly affected by the stress level. |

Therefore, in Saigoku ecotype larvae of the rice stem borer, both diapause and cold-acclimation are essential to accumulate and activate aquaporin for the avoidance of freezing injury.

J Altern Complement Med. 2003 Oct;9(5):719-25. CONCLUSION: Because water channel proteins or aquaporins are mainly responsible for water transport through the plasma membrane of RBCs, it is thought that potentized drugs interact with these proteins, thereby facilitating water influx in the cells. |
