Mathew, Lolita G. Hull, J. Joe Cerdà, Joan Fabrick, Jeffrey A. Research Council of Norway Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad (España) Department of Agriculture (US) Bemisia tabaci Whitefly Osmoregulation Aquaporins Entomoglyceroporin Major intrinsic protein family 13 pages, 5 figures, 3 tables, supplementary data http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ibmb.2016.07.010 The Middle East-Asia Minor 1 (MEAM1) whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) is an economically important pest of food, fiber, and ornamental crops. This pest has evolved a number of adaptations to overcome physiological challenges, including 1) the ability to regulate osmotic stress between gut lumen and hemolymph after imbibing large quantities of a low nitrogen, sugar-rich liquid diet; 2) the ability to avoid or prevent dehydration and desiccation, particularly during egg hatching and molting; and 3) to be adapted for survival at elevated temperatures. One superfamily of proteins involved in the maintenance of fluid homeostasis in many organisms includes the aquaporins, which are integral membrane channel proteins that aid in the rapid flux of water and other small solutes across biological membranes. Here, we show that B. tabaci has eight aquaporins (BtAqps), of which seven belong to the classical aquaporin 4-related grade of channels, including Bib, Drip, Prip, and Eglps and one that belongs to the unorthodox grade of aquaporin 12-like channels. B. tabaci has further expanded its repertoire of water channels through the expression of three BtDrip2 amino-terminal splice variants, while other hemipteran species express amino- or carboxyl-terminal isoforms of Drip, Prip, and Eglps. Each BtAqp has unique transcript expression profiles, cellular localization, and/or substrate preference. Our phylogenetic and functional data reveal that hemipteran insects lost the classical glp genes, but have compensated for this by duplicating the eglp genes early in their evolution to comprise at least three separate clades of glycerol transporters This work was supported by base CRIS funding to USDA-ARS, National Program 304 - Crop Protection & Quarantine [Project #2020-22620-022-00D] to J.F., and partially funded by the Research Council of Norway Grants 204813/F20 and 254872/E40 to R.N.F. and the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (MINECO), project AGL2013-41196-R to J.C.
