The activity of hepatic carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT-I) may be modulated by interactions with cytoskeletal components [Velasco et al. (1998) J. Biol. Chem. 273, 21497-21504]. We have studied whether the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is involved in this process. AMPK stimulated CPT-I in permeabilized hepatocytes but not in isolated liver mitochondria. In addition, AMPK abrogated the inhibition of CPT-I of isolated mitochondria induced by a cytoskeletal fraction. These two effects of AMPK were not evident when the kinase was inactivated by pretreatment with protein phosphatase 2C. Cytokeratins 8 and 18 were phosphorylated by AMPK in vitro and by incubation of intact hepatocytes with 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleoside, a cell-permeable activator of AMPK. These results provide the first evidence that AMPK stimulates CPT-I by direct phosphorylation of cytoskeletal components.
