Insects are highly successful, in part through an excellent ability to osmoregulate. The renal (Malpighian) tubules can secrete fluid faster on a per-cell basis than any other epithelium, but the route for these remarkable water fluxes has not been established. InDrosophila melanogaster, we show that 4 members of the Major Intrinsic Protein family are expressed at very high level in the fly renal tissue; the aquaporins Drip and Prip, and the aquaglyceroporins Eglp2 and Eglp4. As predicted from their structure and by their transport function by expressing these proteins inXenopusoocytes, Drip, Prip and Eglp2 show significant and specific water permeability, whereas Eglp2 and Eglp4 show very high permeability to glycerol and urea. Knockdowns of any of these genes impacts tubule performance resulting in impaired hormone-induced fluid secretion. TheDrosophilatubule has two main secretory cell types: active cation-transporting principal cells with the aquaglyceroporins localize to opposite plasma membranes and small stellate cells, the site of the chloride shunt conductance, with these aquaporins localising to opposite plasma membranes. This suggests a model in which cations are pumped by the principal cells, causing chloride to follow through the stellate cells in order to balance the charge. As a consequence, osmotically obliged water follows through the stellate cells. Consistent with this model, fluorescently labelled dextran, anin vivomarker of membrane water permeability, is trapped in the basal infoldings of the stellate cells after kinin diuretic peptide stimulation, confirming that these cells provide the major route for transepithelial water flux. The spatial segregation of these components of epithelial water transport may help to explain the unique success of the higher insects.Significance statementThe tiny insect renal (Malpighian) tubule can transport fluid at unparalleled speed, suggesting unique specialisations. Here we show that strategic allocation of Major Intrinsic Proteins (MIPs) to specific cells within the polarized tubule allow the separation of metabolically intense active cation transport from chloride and water conductance. This body plan is general to at least many higher insects, providing a clue to the unique success of the class Insecta.
