      Vitali, Victoria Andrea; Jozefkowicz, Cintia; Canessa Fortuna, Agustina; Soto, Gabriela Cinthia; Gonzalez Flecha, Francisco Luis; Alleva, Karina Edith (Wiley, 2019-03)
      One of the most intriguing properties of plasma membrane intrinsic protein (PIP) aquaporins (AQPs) is their ability to modulate water transport by sensing different levels of intracellular pH through the assembly of homo‐ ...
    • PIP aquaporin pH sensing is regulated by the length and charge of the C-terminal region 

      Scochera, Florencia; Zerbetto De Palma, Gerardo; Canessa Fortuna, Agustina; Chevriau, Jonathan; Toriano, Roxana; Soto, Gabriela Cynthia; Zeida, Ari; Alleva, Karina Edith (Wiley, 2021-07)
      Plant PIP aquaporins play a central role in controlling plant water status. The current structural model for PIP pH-gating states that the main pH sensor is located in loopD and that all the mobile cytosolic elements ...
