Membrane intrinsic proteins (MIPs) that facilitate water transport across biological membranes have been identified in many single-and multi-cellular organisms. Starting from an overview about the MIP protein family, common structures of aquaporins are described. A detailed report about tonoplast-an
Plants counteract fluctuations in water supply by regulating all aquaporins in the cell plasma membrane. Channel closure results either from the dephosphorylation of two conserved serine residues under conditions of drought stress, or from the protonation of a conserved histidine residue following a
