Transcription Factor EB (TFEB) is a critical regulator of lysosomal biogenesis, autophagy and energy homeostasis through controlling expression of genes belonging to the coordinated lysosomal expression and regulation network. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) has been reported to phosphorylate TFEB at three conserved C-terminal serine residues (S466, S467, S469) and these phosphorylation events were essential for transcriptional activation of TFEB. In sharp contrast to this proposition, here we demonstrate that AMPK activation leads to dephosphorylation of the C-terminal sites, and that AMPK is dispensable for mTORC1-mediated/torin1-sensitive TFEB activation. We show that a synthetic peptide encompassing C-terminal serine residues of TFEB is a poor substrate of AMPK. Treatment of cells with AMPK activator (MK-8722) or mTOR inhibitor (torin1) robustly dephosphorylated TFEB not only at mTORC1-targeted N-terminal serine sites, but also at the C-terminal sites. Loss of function of AMPK abrogated MK-8722-but not torin1-induced dephosphorylation and induction of the vast majority of TFEB target genes.
