Energy homeostasis is a fundamental property of all organisms. It includes the ability to control storage and mobilization of fat, mainly triacylglycerols (TAG). A genome-wide comparative transcriptome analysis with fed and starved adult Drosophila flies was performed. Nutritionally regulated genes were identified and a subset was functionally characterized. The starvation-induced brummer (bmm) gene encodes the lipid droplet-associated TAG lipase Brummer, a homolog of the human ATGL protein. Overexpression of bmm depletes fat stores, whereas bmm loss-of-function causes obesity in the fly. The results indicate that bmm acts as an evolutionary conserved key regulator of Drosophila fat storage control. The only bmm paralogue in fly, doppelgäng...
