Reaction Mechanism

    3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase catalyses the oxidation of D-3-phosphoglycerate to 3-phosphohydroxypyruvate with concurrent reduction of NAD+ to NADH. This reaction is the first committed step in serine biosynthesis. In the following steps transamination of 3-phosphohydroxypyruvate with glutamate yields phosphoserine and the action of a phosphatase completes the biosynthesis. In prokaryotes and plants 3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase is inhibited by serine in an allosteric fashion.

    3-phosphoglycerate utilises a charge-relay system involving His 292 and Glu 269. His 292 deprotonates the C2 hydroxyl group of 3-phosphoglycerate as a hydride ion is transferred from C2 to NAD+. Glu 269 functions to modify the pKa of His 292, allowing it to carry out its catalytic role.

    Step 1.

    His292 depronates the hydroxyl group of 3-phosphoglycerate. This is facilitated by Glu269. A hydride from the hydroxyl carbon of 3-phosphoglycerate is transferred to NAD+ in an aromatic bimolecular nucleophilic addition reaction.

    Step 2.

    In an inferred step His292 is deprotonated to regenerate the native state of the enzyme.
