Loop B serine of a plasma membrane aquaporin type PIP2 but not PIP1 plays a key role in pH sensing
In the plant kingdom, the plasma membrane intrinsic aquaporins (PIPs) constitute a highly conserved group of water channels with the capacity of rapidly adjusting the water permeability (Pf) of a cell by a gating response. Most evidence regarding this mechanism was obtained by different biophysical...

In the plant kingdom, the plasma membrane intrinsic aquaporins (PIPs) constitute a highly conserved group of water channels with the capacity of rapidly adjusting the water permeability (Pf) of a cell by a gating response. Most evidence regarding this mechanism was obtained by different biophysical approaches including the crystallization of a Spinaca olaracea PIP2 aquaporin (SoPIP2;1) in an open and close conformation. A close state seems to prevail under certain stimuli such as cytosolic pH decrease, intracellular Ca2 + concentration increase and dephosphorylation of specific serines. In this work we decided to address whether the state of phosphorylation of a loop B serine - highly conserved in all PIPs - combined with cytosolic acidification can jointly affect the gating response. To achieve this goal we generated loop B serine mutants of two PIP types of Fragaria × ananassa (FaPIP2;1S121A and FaPIP1;1S131A) in order to simulate a dephosphorylated state and characterize their behavior in terms of Pf and pH sensitivities.
