Application
Serine has been used as an inhibitor of seryl-tRNA synthetase. DL-Serine hydroxamate is used to induce metabolic synthesis of guanosine 3′-diphosphate 5′-diphosphate (ppGpp) in E. coli by amino acid starvation. It is also used to synchronize cell cycle in E. coli cultures by inhibition of tRNA charging.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Serine is involved in the one-carbon unit metabolism. It is associated with the biosynthesis of cysteine, ceramide, phosphatidylserine, purine and pyrimidine. In bacteria, it participates in tryptophan synthesis. Gluconeogenesis, one of the important biochemical processes, involves serine, particularly in ruminants. Protein phosphorylation is one such event that utilizes serine. Glycine, a metabolic product of serine, serves as an antioxidant and a neurotransmitter. D-serine is known to activate the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors of the brain. Serine hydroxamate, a structural analogue of serine prevents seryl-tRNA (transfer ribonucleic acid) charging and thereby decreases phospholipid and nucleic acid synthesis in Escherichia coli.

During nutrient starvation, Escherichia coli elicits a stringent response involving the ribosome-associated protein RelA. Activation of RelA results in a global change in the cellular metabolism including enhanced expression of the stationary-phase sigma factor RpoS. In the human pathogen Pseudomonas

The accumulation of RNA and protein and the kinetics of nucleoside triphosphate and guanosine polyphosphate pools during amino acid starvation and carbon source downshift were investigated in Streptomyces hygroscopicus. RNA accumulation was controlled stringently during both amino acid starvation and

The stringent response is a mechanism by which bacteria adapt to nutritional deficiencies through the production of the guanine nucleotides ppGpp and pppGpp, produced by the RelA enzyme. We investigated the role of the relA gene in the ability of
