Aquaporins and related genes Landon Lasseter Biol 7020 26 April 2010
Aquaporins • What are Aquaporins? • How many organisms have them? • Why are they important? • Who discovered them?
Aquaporins • There are at least 12 Aquaporin proteins present in the human body. • Mutations in some lead to disease. • Some are essential for numerous body functions. • Without them, we would die of dehydration.
What do they look like? • Constructed of 6 alpha-helices in a right hand configuration • Form tetramers, each acts as a monomer. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a5/Aquaporin-Sideview.png
Types of Aquaporin • AquaporinsvsAquaglyceroporins • What is the difference? http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2658677/figure/fig4/
How do they work? • NPA motif • Ar/R selective filter http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2658677/figure/fig3/
What is my project? • Comparing the Aquaporin and Aquaporin like genes in the human genome. • 20 sequences found • 16 used for phylogeny tree once reduced
Purpose of the Project? • To possibly find the gene that gave rise to the numerous Aquaporin like genes found today. • A better understanding of Aquaporin genes could lead to effective treatments for diseases related to their mutations. • Understanding the similarities and differences in Aquaporins provides a better understanding of cellular function and specialization.
Results • Results with no outgroup (n=16) • Results with Daniorerio as an outgroup (n=17) • Results with other outgroups?
