Crystal structure of AqpZ tetramer reveals two distinct Arg-189 conformations associated with water permeation through the narrowest constriction of the water-conducting channel. J Biol Chem 281 (2006) 454-460. A new X-ray structure of AQPZ from E. coli shows two distinct conformations of the conserved arginine of the ar/R constriction region within the tetrameric asymmetric unit. The authors speculate that this may reveal a novel mechanism for aquaporin gating through protein-protein interactions.
