The anhydrobiotic tardigrade,Hypsibius exemplaris,was previously considered to require de novo gene expression and protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) and protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) activity for successful anhydrobiosis. These indicate thatH. exemplarishas signal transduction systems responding to desiccation stress, with the involvement of phosphorylation events. To this end, we carried out time‐series phosphoproteomicsof H. exemplarisexposed to mild desiccation stress and detected 48 phosphoproteins with significant differential regulations. Among them, immediate and successive reduction of phosphorylation levels of AMP‐activated protein kinase (AMPK) was observed. The subsequent chemical genetic approach showed that AMPK was activated during the preconditioning stage for anhydrobiosis, and inhibition of its activity impaired successful anhydrobiosis. As PP2A is known to dephosphorylate AMPK in other organisms, we suggested that decreased phosphorylation levels of AMPK upon mild desiccation stress were caused by dephosphorylation by PP2A. Accordingly, phosphoproteomics of animals pre‐treated with the PP1/PP2A inhibitor cantharidic acid (CA) lacked the decrease in phosphorylation levels of AMPK. These observations suggest that AMPK activity is required for successful anhydrobiosis inH. exemplaris, and its phosphorylation state is possibly regulated by PP2A.
