Structural insights into AQP3 channel closure upon pH and redox changes reveal an autoregulatory molecular mechanism
Regulation of intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) remains poorly understood. Aquaporin 3 (AQP3) facilitates the membrane transport of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), a key ROS signaling molecule. Here we elucidate the molecular mechanism of AQP3 and show that its regulatory properties are both pH dependent and autoregulated by H2O2. Using single particle cryo-electron microscopy, we pr
