The effect of the induction of the enzymes of the phosphorylated pathway ofl-serine biosynthesis on the thermodynamic relationships among the reactions has been determined in rat liverin vivo. The mass action ratios of the reactions involved were calculated from the concentrations of appropriate metabolites in freeze-clamped liver from animals fed normal and low-protein diets for 2 weeks. These ratios were compared with the equilibrium constants of the same reactions previously determined under physiological conditions and the results previously obtained in the rabbit. The thermodynamic relationships in the pathway were different between the normal rat and rabbit as might have been expected, because of the significantly lower activities of thel-serine biosynthetic enzymes in the former animal. Although the ΔGfor the overall pathway is nearly identical in the rat and rabbit (−5.8versus−5.5 kcal/mol, respectively), the distribution of ΔGamong the reactions is different. The disequilibrium in the pathway in rat liver is nearly equally divided between thel-phosphoserine phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.3) step and the other two reactions [d-3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.95) andl-phosphoserine aminotransferase (EC 2.6.1.52)], whereas in rabbit the phosphatase reaction accounts for nearly the entire ΔG. Feeding the rat a low protein diet, however, induced the activity ofd-3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase 12-fold, that ofl-phosphoserine aminotransferase 20-fold, and that ofl-phosphoserine phosphatase 2-fold. With the induction of the pathway,l-phosphoserine appeared in the tissue, there was a more than 3-fold rise inl-serine in the liver, and the pattern of ΔGin the rat liver approached that in the rabbit.
