Functional linkage between mitochondria and lysosomes is crucial for survival under starvation and lifespan extension. Despite such co-dependency, the supportive pathways connecting mitochondria and lysosomes remain unclear. Here, we identify an inter-organelle lipid trafficking pathway linking yeast vacuole and mitochondria that results in increased mitochondria growth and respiratory activity under glucose starvation. The pathway depends on vacuolar phase-separated, lipid domains, which provide zones for: activation of the vacuolar proton pump; lipid droplet (LD) docking and internalization; and, lipid transfer from vacuole-to-ER-to-mitochondria. Partitioned vacuolar domains form through a specialized type of macro-autophagy, triggered only under acute glucose starvation, that delivers sterol-rich, endosomal-derived lipids to the vacuole. To balance this lipid influx, the vacuole reroutes lipids back to the ER to support both LD biogenesis and mitochondria growth and activity. Energy produced by enhanced mitochondrial activity then feeds back to support the inter-organelle lipid trafficking pathways to ensure survival under nutrient stress.
