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 (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 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 ... -
Neurohypophysial and paracrine vasopressinergic signaling regulates aquaporin trafficking to hydrate marine teleost oocytes
Ferré, Alba; Chauvigné, Francois; Gozdowska, Magdalena; Kulczykowska, Ewa; Finn, Roderick Nigel; Cerdà, Joan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The dual aquaporin (Aqp1ab1/Aqp1ab2)-mediated hydration of marine teleost eggs, which occurs during oocyte meiosis resumption (maturation), is considered a key adaptation underpinning their evolutionary success in the ... -
Unravelling the Complex Duplication History of Deuterostome Glycerol Transporters
Yilmaz, Ozlem; Chauvigné, Francois; Ferré, Alba; Nilsen, Frank; Fjelldal, Per Gunnar; Cerdà, Joan; Finn, Roderick Nigel (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 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 ... -
The vertebrate Aqp14 water channel is a neuropeptide-regulated polytransporter
Chauvigné, Francois; Yilmaz, Ozlem; Ferré, Alba; Fjelldal, Per Gunnar; Finn, Roderick Nigel; Cerdà, Joan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-12-11)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 ...
