Eukaryotic serine racemase (SR) is a pyridoxal 5′-phosphate enzyme belonging to the Fold-type II group, which catalyzes serine racemization and is responsible for the synthesis of D-Ser, a co-agonist of theN-methyl-d-aspartate receptor. In addition to racemization, SR catalyzes the dehydration of D- and L-Ser to pyruvate and ammonia. The bifuctionality of SR is thought to be important for D-Ser homeostasis. SR catalyzes the racemization of D- and L-Ser with almost the same efficiency. In contrast, the rate of L-Ser dehydration catalyzed by SR is much higher than that of D-Ser dehydration. This has caused the argument that SR does not catalyze the direct D-Ser dehydration and that D-Ser is first converted to L-Ser, then dehydrated. In this study, we investigated the substrate and solvent isotope effect of dehydration of D- and L-Ser catalyzed by SR fromDictyostelium discoideum(DdSR) and demonstrated that the enzyme catalyzes direct D-Ser dehydration. Kinetic studies of dehydration of four Thr isomers catalyzed byD. discoideumand mouse SRs suggest that SR discriminates the substrate configuration at C3 but not at C2. This is probably the reason for the difference in efficiency between L- and D-Ser dehydration catalyzed by SR.
