Resumen:
The specific self-association of membrane channels to form oligomeric assemblies is a biological relevant event, which usually confers functional advantages to biological systems. Evidences strongly support that plant plasma membrane aquaporin (PIP) can physically interact to form oligomers by combining PIP2 and PIP1 monomers; however, the kind of oligomer and/or its stoichiometry has not been experimentally elucidated yet.
