Serine in plants: biosynthesis, metabolism, and functions

Trends in Plant Science, 2014
Serine (Ser) has a fundamental role in metabolism and signaling in living organisms. In plants, the existence of different pathways of Ser biosynthesis has complicated our understanding of this amino acid homeostasis. The photorespiratory glycolate pathway has been considered to be of major importance, whereas the nonphotorespiratory phosphorylated ...

Studies on the biosynthesis of phosphatidyl serine

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta, 1959
Abstract 1. 1. A method is described for the determination of the radioactivity of [ 14 C]-phospholipids using a liquid scintillation counter. 2. 2. The incorporation of l -[ 14 C]serine into mitochondrial phospholipids was studied. CMP, ATP, CoASH, glutathione, glycerophosphate and magnesium ions were required for optimal incorporation. CTP

The Enzymes of Serine Biosynthesis

Journal of Experimental Botany, 1969
Extracts of etiolated epicotyls of Pisum sativum have been shown to contain the enzymes necessary for the conversion of phosphohydroxypyruvate to serine. L-Glutamate acted as the amino donor in the formation of phosphoserine from phosphohydroxypyruvate while both L-alanine and L-aspartic acid were inactive.

Enzymes of serine biosynthesis in Rhodopseudomonas capsulata

Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 1973
Rhodopseudomonas capsulata has been shown to possess all the enzymatic activities of both the phosphorylated and nonphosphorylated pathways of serine biosynthesis. In addition there was an active serine hydroxymethyltransferase which catalyzed the reversible interconversion of serine and glycine.

On the phenotypic spectrum of serine biosynthesis defects

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, 2016
AbstractL‐serine is a non‐essential amino acid that is de novo synthesized via the enzymes phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PGDH), phosphoserine aminotransferase (PSAT), and phosphoserine phosphatase (PSP). Besides its role in protein synthesis, L‐serine is a precursor of a number of important compounds.

Serine Biosynthesis and Regulation in Haemophilus influenzae

Journal of Bacteriology, 1969
Nutritional mutants of Haemophilus influenzae requiring l -serine for growth were shown to be deficient in their capacity to synthesize serine-phosphate from 3-phosphoglycerate. On the basis of the correlation between this block and the requirement for an exogenous supply of the amino acid ...

On the biosynthesis of L-serine ethanolamine phosphate in the chicken

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects, 1966
Abstract 1. 1. The biosynthesis of L -serine ethanolamine phosphate, a diester confined to fish, birds, reptile and amphibians, has been studied in chicken gut mucosa preparations. 2. 2. It has been shown that the diester is synthesised according to the overall reaction CDP-ethanolamine + L -serine → CMP + L -serine ethanolamine phosphate.

The Structure of Serine Palmitoyltransferase; Gateway to Sphingolipid Biosynthesis

Journal of Molecular Biology, 2007
Sphingolipid biosynthesis commences with the condensation of L-serine and palmitoyl-CoA to produce 3-ketodihydrosphingosine (KDS). This reaction is catalysed by the PLP-dependent enzyme serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT; EC 2.3.1.50), which is a membrane-bound heterodimer (SPT1/SPT2) in eukaryotes such as humans and yeast and a cytoplasmic homodimer in ...

Effect of acute ethanol on serine biosynthesis in liver

Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 1987
The effect of an acute intraperitoneal dose of ethanol (1 g/kg), glucose (7.2 g/kg), or the combination of the two on the metabolite pattern of the biosynthetic pathway of L-serine has been determined in rabbit liver in vivo as has the effect of 10 mM ethanol on the glucose-, fructose-, or pyruvate-stimulated accumulation of L-serine in rabbit ...
