Abstract: Dietary restriction increases the longevity of many organisms, but the cell signaling and organellar mechanisms underlying this capability are unclear. We demonstrate that to permit long-term survival in response to sudden glucose depletion, yeast cells activate lipid-droplet (LD) consumption through micro-lipophagy (Β΅-lipophagy), in which fat is metabolized as an alternative energy source. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activation triggered this pathway, which required Atg14p. More gradual glucose starvation, amino acid deprivation or rapamycin did not trigger Β΅-lipophagy and failed to provide the needed substitute energy source for long-term survival. During acute glucose restriction, activated AMPK was stabilized from degradation and interacted with Atg14p. This prompted Atg14p redistribution from ER exit sites onto liquid-ordered vacuole membrane domains, initiating Β΅-lipophagy. Our findings that activated AMPK and Atg14p are required to orchestrate Β΅-lipophagy for energy production in starved cells is relevant for studies on aging and evolutionary survival strategies of different organisms. β€’ Keywords: AMPK, ATG14, S. cerevisiae, Cell biology, Lipid-droplets, Microautophagy, Starvation-induced lifespan extension, Vacuole-membrane domains β€’ Bioblast editor: Kandolf G
