Whether and how such metabolic dysregulation contributes to both synaptic plasticity and behavioral deficits in AD is not known. Here, we show that the astrocytic L-serine biosynthesis pathway, which branches from glycolysis, is impaired in young AD mice and in AD patients. L-serine is the precursor of D-serine, a co-agonist of synaptic NMDA receptors (NMDARs) required for synaptic plasticity. Accordingly, AD mice display a lower occupancy of the NMDAR co-agonist site as well as synaptic and behavioral deficits. Similar deficits are observed following inactivation of the L-serine synthetic pathway in hippocampal astrocytes, supporting the key role of astrocytic L-serine. Supplementation with L-serine in the diet prevents both synaptic and behavioral deficits in AD mice. Our findings reveal that astrocytic glycolysis controls cognitive func- tions and suggest oral L-serine as a ready-to-use therapy for AD..

Here, we identified a cDNA encoding this enzyme from the silkworm Bombyx mori. The recombinant B. mori MTHFD (bmMTHFD) expressed in Escherichia coli recognized 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate and 5,10-methenyltetrahydrofolate as substrate in the presence of NADP + as well as NAD + . The bmMTHFD structure was determined at a resolution of 1.75 Å by X-ray crystallography. Site-directed mutagenesis indicated that the amino acid residue Tyr49 contributed to its catalytic activity. Our findings provide insight into the mechanism underlying the activity of MTHFD from B. mori and potentially other insects and may therefore facilitate the development of inhibitors specific to MTHFD as insecticides..
