Abstract excerpt
Evidence that membrane surface tension regulates water fluxes in intact cells of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain overexpressing aquaporin AQY1 was obtained by assessing the osmotic water transport parameters in cells equilibrated in different osmolarities. The osmotic water permeability coefficients (P(f)) obtained for yeast cells overexpressing AQY1 incubated in low osmolarity buffers were similar to those...
