Yin and Yang in Post-Translational Modifications of Human D-Amino Acid Oxidase

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2021
In the central nervous system, the flavoprotein D-amino acid oxidase is responsible for catabolizing D-serine, the main endogenous coagonist of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor.

Seprase: An overview of an important matrix serine protease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Seprase or Fibroblast Activation Protein (FAP) is an integral membrane serine peptidase, which has been shown to have gelatinase activity. Seprase has a dual function in tumour progression.

Neuronal release of D‐serine: a physiological pathway controlling extracellular D‐serine concentration

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, 2010
ABSTRACT d ‐Serine is thought to be a glia‐derived transmitter that activates N ‐methyl d ‐aspartate receptors (NMDARs) in the brain.

Long-Term Treatment With Morphine Increases the D-Serine Content in the Rat Brain by Regulating the mRNA and Protein Expressions of Serine Racemase and D-Amino Acid Oxidase

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2008
Recent studies indicate that an endogenous co-agonist for an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor–related glycine site, D-serine, is synthesized by serine racemase and is metabolized by D-amino acid oxidase (DAO) and that acute treatment with morphine ...

Neonatal disruption of serine racemase causes schizophrenia-like behavioral abnormalities in adulthood: clinical rescue by d-serine.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
BackgroundD-Serine, an endogenous co-agonist of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor, is synthesized from L-serine by serine racemase (SRR). Given the role of D-serine in both neurodevelopment and the pathophysiology of schizophrenia, we examined ...

D-Serine reflects kidney function and diseases [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2019
AbstractD-Amino acids, long-term undetected enantiomers of L-amino acids, are now emerging as potential biomarkers, especially for kidney diseases. Management of chronic kidney disease (CKD), a global problem with its high prevalence and poor prognosis, is currently unsatisfactory due to the difficulty in estimating kidney function and in early ...

T-SP1: a novel serine protease-like protein predominantly expressed in testis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Here, we describe a novel member in the group of membrane-anchored chymotrypsin (S1)-like serine proteases, namely testis serine protease 1 (T-SP1), as it is principally expressed in testis tissue.

Effects of Chronic D-Serine Elevation on Animal Models of Depression and Anxiety-Related Behavior.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
NMDA receptors are activated after binding of the agonist glutamate to the NR2 subunit along with a co-agonist, either L-glycine or D-serine, to the NR1 subunit.

Enantioselective Synthesis of α-Methyl-d-cysteine and Lanthionine Building Blocks via α-Methyl-d-serine-β-lactone

open access: yes, 2016
We report here the enantioselective synthesis of Boc-α-methyl-d-cysteine(PMB)-OH and lanthionine building blocks through the regioselective ring opening of key intermediate Boc-α-methyl-d-serine-β ...

Phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase-1 (PDK1)-independent activation of the protein kinase C substrate, protein kinase D [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Phosphoinoisitide dependent kinase l (PDK1) is proposed to phosphorylate a key threonine residue within the catalytic domain of the protein kinase C (PKC) superfamily that controls the stability and catalytic competence of these kinases.
