Description: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is hallmarked by progressive neurodegeneration. Aggregation of amyloid-β peptides (Aβ) is thought to play a pivotal role in driving AD pathogenesis, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we use yeast genome-scale screening to study global synthetic genetic interactions and identify toxicity modifiers of Aβ42. We find that the gene encoding riboflavin kinase (FMN1) and its metabolic product flavin mononucleotide (FMN) are connected to AD. These relationship between Aβ42 and FMN was previously unknown. As a cofactor for flavoenzymes, FMN supplementation appears to attune many cellular processes to ameliorate Aβ42 toxicity. RNA-seq analysis further confirms FMN’s cytoprotective mechanisms. Our findings provide increased understanding of FMN regulated cellular pathways which are associated with potential targets for AD treatment.
