摘要

Aquaporins, found in virtually all living organisms, are membrane-intrinsic proteins that form water-permeable complexes. The mammalian aquaporin AQP1 has also shown CO_2 permeability when expressed heterologously in Xenopus oocytes, although whether this is a biochemical curiosity or of physiological significance is a matter of debate. Here we report that, in the same expression system, a CO_2 permeability comparable to that of the human AQP1 is observed for the tobacco plasma membrane aquaporin NtAQPI. NtAQPI facilitates CO_2 membrane transport in the homologous plant system at the cellular level, and has a significant function in photosynthesis and in stomatal opening. NtAQPI overexpression heightens membrane permeability for CO_2 and water, and increases leaf growth. The results indicate that NtAQPl-related CO_2 permeability is of physiological importance under conditions where the CO_2 gradient across a membrane is small, as is the case between the atmosphere and the inside of a plant cell.
