Summary
SERAC1 (serine active site containing 1, HGNC:21061) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 6q25.3, encoding Protein SERAC1 (Q96JX3). Facilitates the transport of serine from the cytosol to the mitochondria by interacting with and stabilizing Sideroflexin-1 (SFXN1), a mitochondrial serine transporter, playing a fundamental role in the one-carbon cycle responsible for the synthesis of nucleotides needed for mit….
The protein encoded by this gene is a phosphatidylglycerol remodeling protein found at the interface of mitochondria and endoplasmic reticula, where it mediates phospholipid exchange. The encoded protein plays a major role in mitochondrial function and intracellular cholesterol trafficking. Defects in this gene are a cause of 3-methylglutaconic aciduria with deafness, encephalopathy, and Leigh-like syndrome (MEGDEL). Two transcript variants, one protein-coding and the other non-protein coding, have been found for this gene.

Function. Facilitates the transport of serine from the cytosol to the mitochondria by interacting with and stabilizing Sideroflexin-1 (SFXN1), a mitochondrial serine transporter, playing a fundamental role in the one-carbon cycle responsible for the synthesis of nucleotides needed for mitochondrial DNA replication. Plays an important role in the phosphatidylglycerol (PG) remodeling that is essential for both mitochondrial function and intracellular cholesterol trafficking. Specifically involved in the exchange of the sn-1 acyl chain from PG 16:0/18:1(9Z) (also known as 1-hexadecanoyl-2-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phospho-(1’-sn-glycerol)) to PG 18:0/18:1(9Z) (also known as 1-octadecanoyl-2-(9Z-octadecenoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phospho-(1’-sn-glycerol)), a step needed in the bis(monoacylglycerol)phosphate biosynthetic pathway. May have acyltransferase activity although the mechanism for PG remodeling has not been determined.
Subcellular location. Mitochondrion membrane. Endoplasmic reticulum. Mitochondrion.
Tissue specificity. Widely expressed, with predominant expression in skeletal muscle and brain. In the brain, highest levels are found in the frontal and occipital cortices, cerebellum and hippocampus.
Disease relevance. 3-methylglutaconic aciduria with deafness, encephalopathy, and Leigh-like syndrome (MEGDEL) [MIM:614739] An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by childhood onset of delayed psychomotor development or psychomotor regression, sensorineural deafness, spasticity or dystonia, and increased excretion of 3-methylglutaconic acid. Brain imaging shows cerebral and cerebellar atrophy as well as lesions in the basal ganglia reminiscent of Leigh syndrome. Laboratory studies show increased serum lactate and alanine, mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation defects, abnormal mitochondria, abnormal phosphatidylglycerol and cardiolipin profiles in fibroblasts, and abnormal accumulation of unesterified cholesterol within cells. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the SERAC1 family.
