In plants, aquaporins regulate the water flow through membranes during growth, development and stress responses. We have isolated two isoforms of the aquaporin family from the protein-storage vacuoles of lentil (Lens culinaris Med.) seeds. Chemical cross-linking experiments showed that both isoforms belong to the same oligomer in the membrane and are phosphorylated by a membrane-bound protein kinase. We assigned the kinase activity to a 52 kDa protein that is magnesium-dependent and calcium-regulated.
在植物中,水通道蛋白在生长、发育和应激反应过程中调节水分通过膜的流动。我们从扁豆(Lens culinaris Med.)种子的蛋白储存液泡中分离出了水通道蛋白家族的两种亚型。化学交联实验表明,这两种亚型在膜中属于同一寡聚体,并被一种膜结合蛋白激酶磷酸化。我们将该激酶活性归因于一种52 kDa的蛋白,该蛋白依赖镁且受钙调节。
