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.

In Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2), two genes, tuf1 and tuf3, encode the apparent polypeptide chain elongation factors EF-Tu1 and EF-Tu3, respectively. While tuf1 appears to code for the major EF-Tu, the function of tuf3 is unknown. To assess the role of

Lack of three different amino acids or treatment with the analogue DL-serine hydroxamate does not induce the accumulation of ppGpp and pppGpp, the 3'-pyrophosphates of GDP and GTP, respectively, in Rhizobium meliloti strain 41. Surprisingly, RNA accumulation is controlled under

Cell growth rate reflects an organism's physiological state and largely relies on the ability of gene expression to respond to the environment. The relationship between cellular growth rate and gene expression remains unknown. Growth rate-coordinated changes in gene expression were

The Trojan horse antibiotic albomycin, produced by Streptomyces sp. strain ATCC 700974, contains a thioribosyl nucleoside moiety linked to a hydroxamate siderophore through a serine residue. The seryl nucleoside structure (SB-217452) is a potent inhibitor of seryl-tRNA synthetase (SerRS) in
