Resurgence of serine: an often neglected but indispensable amino Acid.

The Journal of Biological Chemistry

Abstract

Serine is generally classified as a nutritionally nonessential (dispensable) amino acid, but metabolically, serine is indispensible and plays an essential role in several cellular processes. Serine is the major source of one-carbon units for methylation reactions that occur via the generation of S-adenosylmethionine. The regulation of serine metabolism in mammalian tissues is thus of critical importance for the control of methyl group transfer. In addition to the well known role of d-serine in the brain, l-serine has recently been implicated in breast cancer and other tumors due in part to the genomic copy number gain for 3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase, the enzyme that controls the entry of glycolytic intermediates into the pathway of serine synthesis. Here, we review recent information regarding the synthesis of serine and the regulation of its metabolism and discuss the role played by phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase in this process.
