Evolution of the MIP family of integral membrane transport proteins
Abstract
Summary: Six integral membrane proteins of bacterial, animal, and plant origin, which are believed to function in solute transport, share sequence identity and are grouped together as members of the MIP family. These include the Escherichia coli glycerol facilitator, the major intrinsic protein from bovine lens fibre junction membranes, a plant tonoplast membrane protein, a soybean protein from the peribacteroid membrane, and a Drosophila neurogenic protein. These proteins, each of which appears to consist of six transmembrane helical segments per subunit, apparently arose by internal duplication of a three‐transmembrane segment. Phylogenetic‘trees’interrelating these proteins and segments are presented.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
