PSPH Promotes Hepatocellular Carcinoma Progression by Upregulating HIF-1α and Is Regulated by LncRNA GSEC/miR-101-3p [PDF]
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) lacks effective early diagnostic markers and is heavily driven by angiogenesis and hypoxia. Emerging evidence indicates that metabolic enzymes and noncoding RNAs coordinate these processes.

Mitochondria-Dependent Metabolic Reprogramming Enhances Myofibroblast Differentiation and Aggravates Bleomycin-Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis [PDF]
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive interstitial lung disease characterized by irreversible fibrosis. Aberrant cell differentiation plays a crucial role in the development of IPF. Although recent studies have suggested that mitochondrial

Study of the structure and inhibition of Mycobacterium avium phosphoserine phosphatase [PDF]
Tuberculosis remains currently one of the top ten causes of death worldwide. As a matter of fact, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb), which is the pathogen responsible for this disease, spreads easily and quickly through saliva droplets in air [1]. Moreover, this mycobacterium is becoming more and more multidrug-resistant [2].

Phosphoserine phosphatase (PSP), a human enzyme involved in the L-serine biosynthesis pathway, has been crystallized using the hanging-drop vapour-diffusion method at 277 K. The crystals are orthorhombic, belonging to space group C222(1), with unit-cell parameters a = 49.03 A, b = 130.25 A, c = 157.29 A.

Gene dosage studies regionally assign the phosphoserine phosphatase gene to 7p15.1 or 2.
Gene dosage studies in subjects with imbalances of the short arm of chromosome 7 have suggested the localization of the phosphoserine phosphatase (PSP) structural gene to p22.1----pter or p15----p21.2. We have found normal enzyme activity in the fibroblasts from a patient with dup (7) (p15.3----pter).

Evolution-guided yeast complementation reveals functional differences in human PSPH variants. [PDF]
Ancient genomes can help guide which human genetic variants are tested experimentally. This study applies that idea to PSPH, a gene involved in serine biosynthesis, and uses high‐throughput yeast complementation to compare variant function. The findings reveal measurable differences among selected alleles and illustrate the value of evolution‐guided ...

Characterization of M. tuberculosis SerB2, an essential HAD-family phosphatase, reveals novel properties. [PDF]
M. tuberculosis harbors an essential phosphoserine phosphatase (MtSerB2, Rv3042c) that contains two small- molecule binding ACT-domains (Pfam 01842) at the N-terminus followed by the phosphoserine phosphatase (PSP) domain. We found that exogenously added

ATF3 promotes the serine synthesis pathway and tumor growth under dietary serine restriction
Summary: The serine synthesis pathway (SSP) involving metabolic enzymes phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH), phosphoserine aminotransferase 1 (PSAT1), and phosphoserine phosphatase (PSPH) drives intracellular serine biosynthesis and is indispensable ...
