Functional divergence of the NIP III subgroup proteins involved altered selective constraints and positive selection.

BMC plant biology - 20 Nov 2010

Liu Qingpo, Zhu Zhujun

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Nod26-like intrinsic proteins (NIPs) that belong to the aquaporin superfamily are unique to plants. According to homology modeling and phylogenetic analysis, the NIP subfamily can be further divided into three subgroups with distinct biological functions (NIP I, NIP II, and NIP III). In some grasses, the NIP III subgroup proteins (NIP2s) were demonstrated to be permeable to solutes with larger...
