Failure to repair damaged NAD(P)H blocks de novo serine synthesis in human cells by Adhish S. Walvekar, Marc Warmoes, Dean Cheung, Tim Sikora, Najmesadat Seyedkatouli, Gemma Gomez-Giro, Sebastian Perrone, Lisa Dengler, François Unger, Bruno F. R. Santos, Floriane Gavotto, Xiangyi Dong, Julia Becker-Kettern, Yong-Jun Kwon, Christian Jäger, Jens C. Schwamborn, Nicole J. Van Bergen, John Christodoulou, Carole L. Linster

“…Metabolomic profiling in supplemented cells indicated that NR and inosine act via different mechanisms that at least partially involve the serine synthesis pathway. Conclusions Taken together, our study identifies a metabolic vulnerability in NAXD-deficient cells that can be targeted by small molecules such as NR or inosine, opening perspectives in the search for mechanism-based therapeutic interventions in PEBEL disorders. …”
