Lipid droplets (LDs) are dynamic lipid-storage organelles of storage depots and sources of essential substrates for myriad cellular processes and protect cells from lipotoxicity (Ohsaki et al., 2006). Disrupted LD and fat storage homeostasis has been linked to metabolic diseases such as atherosclerosis, obesity, and type II diabetes (Levin et al., 2001). Structurally, the core of neutral lipids in LDs is surrounded by a phospholipid monolayer and coated with specific proteins (Storey et al., 2011). Perilipin family of proteins are the predominant LD-associated proteins. In mammals, Perilipin 1 (PLIN1) is primarily expressed in adipose tissues and a major regulator of lipolysis in adipocytes (Kuo et al., 2017). PLIN2 and PLIN3 help coat LDs in most other cell types (Bulankina et al., 2009). Unlike PLIN1/2, PLIN3 targets primarily to nascent LDs and remains stable in the cytoplasm when not associated with LDs (Hocsak et al., 2010). It has emerged as a regulator of LD biogenesis and degradation (Bulankina et al., 2009). The AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is comprised of α, β and γ subunits and regulates cellular energy homeostasis (Carling et al., 1994). Activation of AMPK upon stress conditions such as glucose deprivation, occurs through AMP-γ subunit binding or Thr172 phosphorylation. Activated AMPK acts on targets in diverse pathways, from carbohydrate, protein and lipid metabolism to mitochondrial biogenesis, autophagy and cell growth (Fraser et al., 2013). Despite being a major cellular regulator of lipid metabolism (Dyck et al., 1999), direct targets of AMPK in LD homeostasis remain elusive. We report here that PLIN3 is a novel physiological AMPK substrate where phosphorylation by AMPK may help expose PLIN3 C-terminus to promote LD dispersion.AMPK activation can promote LD dispersion during starvation or following addition of AMPK activators (Herms et al., 2015). To determine whether AMPK-regulated activation of perilipin family proteins might be key to LD dispersion, we performed Bi-molecular Fluorescence Complementation (BiFC) assays to detect AMPK-perilipin interaction using YFPn-tagged AMPKα1 and YFPc-tagged perilipins (Figs. 1 A and S1). Interestingly, AMPKα1 could interact with PLIN3, but not PLIN2/4/5 (Fig. 1 B). This interaction was further
