Overexpression of Phosphoserine Aminotransferase 1 (PSAT1) Predicts Poor Prognosis and Associates with Tumor Progression in Human Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma [PDF]
Background/Aims: Phosphoserine aminotransferase 1 (PSAT1) is over-expressed in many carcinoma tissues, however little is known regarding its expression and function in esophageal carcinogenesis.

Structural Analysis of Phosphoserine Aminotransferase (Isoform 1) From Arabidopsis thaliana– the Enzyme Involved in the Phosphorylated Pathway of Serine Biosynthesis [PDF]
Phosphoserine aminotransferase (PSAT) is a pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (PLP)-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of 3-phosphohydroxypyruvate (3-PHP) to 3-phosphoserine (PSer) in an L-glutamate (Glu)-linked reversible transamination reaction.

Examination of the effects of microRNA-145-5p and phosphoserine aminotransferase 1 in colon cancer. [PDF]
Previous studies manifested that microRNA-145-5p is pivotal in the development of various cancers. Nevertheless, the potential function of microRNA-145-5p in colorectal cancer remains unclear. This study attempted to investigate the potential role and possible mechanism of microRNA-145-5p in colon cancer.

The protective effects of phosphoserine aminotransferase 1 (PSAT1) against hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury. [PDF]
Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a severe clinical syndrome, causing a profound medical and socioeconomic burden worldwide. This study aimed to explore underlying biomarkers and treatment targets in the progression of hepatic I/R injury. We screened gene expression profiles of the hepatic I/R injury from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO ...

Nuclear Pyruvate Kinase M2 (PKM2) Contributes to Phosphoserine Aminotransferase 1 (PSAT1)-Mediated Cell Migration in EGFR-Activated Lung Cancer Cells. [PDF]
An elevated expression of phosphoserine aminotransferase 1 (PSAT1) has been observed in multiple tumor types and is associated with poorer clinical outcomes. Although PSAT1 is postulated to promote tumor growth through its enzymatic function within the serine synthesis pathway (SSP), its role in cancer progression has not been fully characterized. Here,

Cancer-associated Fibroblast-like Cells Promote Osteosarcoma Metastasis by Upregulation of Phosphoserine Aminotransferase 1 and Activation of the mTOR/S6K Pathway. [PDF]
Metastasis remains a major obstacle limiting the survival of patients with osteosarcoma (OS). Cross-talk between cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and OS cells has been found to facilitate metastasis, although the effects of CAFs on OS cell metabolism are poorly understood.

A phosphoserine phosphatase variant present in the brain of Alzheimer's disease patients favors nuclear mistargeting. [PDF]
l‐serine levels in the human brain are maintained by the phosphorylated pathway, a three‐step process catalyzed by phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH), phosphoserine aminotransferase (PSAT) and phosphoserine phosphatase (PSP). These enzymes assemble in a metabolon called the serinosome. The double R27S/D32G PSP variant was identified in the brain of
