The midgut of the tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta, actively secretes potassium ions. This can be measured as short-circuit current (Isc) with the midgut mounted in an Ussing chamber and superfused with a high-K+ saline containing as its major osmolyte 166 mM sucrose. Iso-osmotic substitution of sucrose by non-metabolisable compounds (mannitol, urea, NaCl and the polyethylene glycols 200, 400 and 600) led to a dramatic, though reversible, drop in the current. Acarbose, a specific inhibitor of invertase (sucrase) in vertebrates and insects, had no detectable influence on Isc. Unexpectedly, after replacing sucrose iso-osmotically with the saccharides glucose, fructose, trehalose or raffinose, the K+ current could no longer be supported. However, all osmolytes smaller than sucrose (except for NaCl), metabolisable or not, initiated an immediate, quite uniform but transient, increase in Isc by about 20%, before its eventual decline far below the control value. Hypo-osmotic treatment by omission of sucrose also transiently increased the K+ current. Small osmolytes substituted for sucrose caused no transient Isc stimulation when the epithelium had been challenged before with hypo-osmolarity; however, the eventual decline in Isc could not be prevented. Our data seem inconsistent with a role of sucrose as energiser or simple osmolyte. Rather, we discuss here its possible role as analogous to that of sucrose in lower eukaryotes or plants, as an extra- and/or intracellular “compatible osmolyte” that stabilises structure and/or function of the proteins implicated in K+ transport.
