Sir2 is an evolutionarily conserved NAD+ -dependent deacetylase which has been shown to play a critical role in glucose and fat metabolism. In this study, we have perturbedDrosophila Sir2 (dSir2 ) expression, bidirectionally, in muscles and the fat body. We report thatdSir2 plays a critical role in insulin signaling, glucose homeostasis, and mitochondrial functions. Importantly, we establish the nonautonomous functions of fat bodydSir2 in regulating mitochondrial physiology and insulin signaling in muscles. We have identified a novel interplay betweendSir2 and dFOXO at an organismal level, which involvesDrosophila insulin-like peptide (dILP)-dependent insulin signaling. By genetic perturbations and metabolic rescue, we provide evidence to illustrate that fat bodydSir2 mediates its effects on the muscles via free fatty acids (FFA) and dILPs (from the insulin-producing cells [IPCs]). In summary, we show that fat bodydSir2 is a master regulator of organismal energy homeostasis and is required for maintaining the metabolic regulatory network across tissues.
