PHGDH/SYK: a hub integrating anti-fungal immunity and serine metabolism.

ABSTRACT: Immune cells modify their metabolic pathways in response to fungal infections. Nevertheless, the biochemical underpinnings need to be better understood. This study reports that fungal infection drives a switch from glycolysis to the serine synthesis pathway (SSP) and one-carbon metabolism by inducing the interaction of spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) and phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH). As a result, PHGDH promotes SYK phosphorylation, leading to the recruitment of SYK to C-type lectin receptors (CLRs). The CLR/SYK complex initiates signaling cascades that lead to transcription factor activation and pro-inflammatory cytokine production. SYK activates SSP and one-carbon metabolism by inducing PHGDH activity. Then, one-carbon metabolism supports S-adenosylmethionine and histone H3 lysine
