Starvation by acute GR increases cell survival and induces vacuolar LD delivery.

(A) Long-term survival of cells undergoing gradual or acute GR was measured as described in the Materials and methods. Cell survival is plotted as the log of a percentage viable cell number at day 1 (which was set at 100%). Three biologically independent experiments are shown together. (B) Cell respiration was determined during a cell survival experiment described in the Materials and methods. O2 consumption rate is plotted as a percentage of that seen in cells under gradual GR at day 1 (which was set at 100%). (C) Representative SXT orthoslice image of a yeast cell under non-starvation is shown. (D) Representative SXT orthoslice images of yeast cells under day 1.5 (D1.5) of gradual or acute GR are shown. Arrowheads indicate LDs inside the vacuole. Scale bar represents 0.5 μm. Lower panels show full 3D SXT images (LD: green; nucleus: purple; vacuole: pale yellow; mitochondria: gold). (E) Percentage of cells having only cytoplasmic LDs (Cyt LD) or having both Cyt LD and vacuole associated LDs (Vac LD) are shown. Data were analyzed from full 3D tomograms of the SXT images. Approximately 50 cells per each condition were analyzed.

Model for AMPK-Atg14p-dependent Lo domain formation on the vacuole and its role in μ-lipophagy during acute GR.

In cells undergoing acute GR, LDs and the vacuole coordinate to mediate μ-lipophagy. This response involves AMPK/Snf1p activation and Atg14p redistribution to liquid-ordered membrane (Lo) domains on the vacuole surface. Atg14p in cells starved by gradual GR, where AMPK is inactive, does not associate with the vacuole, and instead resides at ER exit sites (ERES). Under acute GR, vacuole-associated Atg14p preferentially resides on the edges of Lo domains and drives large-scale Lo domain formation in concert with Atg6p. The enlarged Lo domains now serve as LD recruitment sites, with LDs moving to the vacuole from the perinuclear ER area. LDs on the Lo domain then bud into the vacuolar lumen and undergo degradation to recycle stored fat molecules, resulting in the extension of lifespan of starved cells during acute GR.
