Abstract
The amino acid analogue l-serine hydroxamate, which is bacteriostatic for Escherichia coli, has been shown to inhibit protein synthesis. The antimetabolite is a competitive inhibitor of seryl-transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) synthetase with a K(i) value of 30 mum. Mutants resistant to l-serine hydroxamate have been selected, and three were shown to have seryl-tRNA synthetases with increased K(i) values. One mutant contains a 3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase which is insensitive to inhibition by l-serine.Entities:
