… We provide a comprehensive assessment of pore lining residues of OsNIP2;1 with respect
to metalloid uptake. The findings will expand mechanistic understanding of aquaporin’s …

… Here, we present the X-ray crystal structure of the archetypal NIP family member from Oryza
sativa (OsNIP2;1). The OsNIP2;1 channel is closed in the crystal structure by the cytoplasmic …

Previous studies have shown that the Nodulin 26-like intrinsic membrane protein (NIP) Lsi1 (OsNIP2;1)
is involved in arsenite [As(III)] uptake in rice (Oryza sativa). However, the role of …

… For example, OsNIP2;1 that was first identified as a Si transporter, but also exhibits As III and
antimonite transport abilities. OsNIP5;1 is a channel for boric acid and has also been shown …

Key Message This study demonstrates the crucial role of OsPIP2;6 for translocation of arsenic
from roots to shoots, which can decrease arsenic accumulation in rice for improved food …

… structure of the archetypal NIP family member from Oryza sativa (OsNIP2;1). While the … Here,
we present the X-ray crystal structure and molecular dynamics simulations of the archetypal …

… A structure-localization analysis of AtNIP5;1 shows that threonine phosphorylation in
three-… In addition, the TPG domain is not found in OsNIP2;1 and OsNIP2;2 proteins, indicating …

… They have a tetrameric structure in which each monomer unit acts as a … OsNIP2;1 at the
distal side and is released into the apoplast of aerenchyma by OsLsi2. From here, both OsNIP2;1 …

… Thus, despite the high structural similarity of the … OsNIP2;1, suggesting that OsNIP2;1 has
a high capacity for the transport of both metalloids. It will be important to investigate if OsNIP2;1 …

… The mRNA levels of OsPIP1;3, OsPIP2;3, OsPIP2;4, OsPIP2;5, OsTIP2;1 and OsNIP2;1
were higher in roots than in leaf blades. In particular, OsPIP2;3, OsPIP2;4 and OsPIP2;5 were …
