Popis: Summary: Lipophagy, the process of selective catabolism of lipid droplets (LDs) by autophagy, maintains lipid homeostasis and provides cellular energy under metabolic adaptation, yet its underlying mechanism remains largely ambiguous. Here, we show that the Bub1-Bub3 complex, the crucial regulator involved in the whole process of chromosome alignment and separation during mitosis, controls the fasting-induced lipid catabolism in the fat body (FB) of Drosophila. Bidirectional deviations of the Bub1 or Bub3 level affect the consumption of triacylglycerol (TAG) of fat bodies and the survival rate of adult flies under starving. Moreover, Bub1 and Bub3 work together to attenuate lipid degradation via macrolipophagy upon fasting. Thus, we uncover physiological roles of the Bub1-Bub3 complex on metabolic adaptation and lipid metabolism beyond their canonical mitotic functions, providing insights into the in vivo functions and molecular mechanisms of macrolipophagy during nutrient deprivation.
