Protein Details
Protein Function/Process
Disruption of the FPS1 gene for the aquaglyceroporin Fps1p reduced uptake of 73As(III) into cells, conferring resistance to arsenite. The arsenate-resistant phenotype could be functionally complemented by expression of AQP9, a mammalian homologue [5] [6]
The main role of Fps1 is export of glycerol for osmoregulation. Fps1 transport function is gated to ensure glycerol accummulation and glycerol release depending on osmotic conditions. The mechanism of gating is not fully understood but requires certain conserved domains of Fps1 and, directly or indirectly, the Hog1 MAPK.
