Molecular and Functional Characterization of Grapevine NIPs through Heterologous Expression in <i>aqy-</i>Null <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i>

Plant Nodulin 26-like Intrinsic Proteins (NIPs) are multifunctional membrane channels of the Major Intrinsic Protein (MIP) family. Unlike other homologs, they have low intrinsic water permeability. NIPs possess diverse substrate selectivity, ranging from water to glycerol and to other small solutes,...
