The modulation of serine metabolism in hepatoma 3924A during different phases of cellular proliferation in culture

Open access
Snell, K, Natsumeda, Y, Weber, G·1987·Biochemical Journal

Abstract

The activities of 3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase and serine hydroxymethyltransferase increased markedly during the transition of hepatoma cells from a resting non-proliferating culture into the proliferating growth phase. Activities declined as cells reached confluency and entered the plateau growth phase. This pattern was paralleled by changes in [14C]serine incorporation into nucleic acids. The experiments support the hypothesis that the biosynthesis of serine is metabolically coupled to its utilization for nucleotide precursor formation in cancer cells.

  • Serine is the primary carbon donor to the tetrahydrofolate cycle, which is required for both purine and pyrimidine nucleotide biosynthesis.

    “With respect to proliferating cells such as cancer, serine is the primary carbon donor to the tetrahydrofolate (THF) cycle, which is required for both purine and pyrimidine nucleotide biosynthesis (Figure 6)(Snell et al., 1987).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
