What is the trigger to open the Aquaporin channel in E.coli under osmotic stress ?

14 October 2020 0 7K Report

I am digging into the trigger that opens the AquaporinZ (aqpZ) water channel in E.coli. Although most papers suggest involvement of residues Arginine-189 and the F43, H174 and T183, I did not find any paper which shows/mentions/speculates how the channel opens up, because under isoosmotic conditions, the channel must be closed obviously. Any suggestions?
