Phosphatidylserine

(Redirected from Phosphatidyleserine)

Phosphatidylserine (abbreviated Ptd-L-Ser or PS) is a phospholipid and is a component of the cell membrane.[1] It plays a key role in cell cycle signaling, specifically in relation to apoptosis. It is a key pathway for viruses to enter cells via apoptotic mimicry.[2] Its exposure on the outer surface of a membrane marks the cell for destruction via apoptosis.[3]

Structure

edit

Phosphatidylserine is a phospholipid—more specifically a glycerophospholipid—which consists of two fatty acids attached in ester linkage to the first and second carbon of glycerol and serine attached through a phosphodiester linkage to the third carbon of the glycerol.[4]

Phosphatidylserine sourced from plants differs in fatty acid composition from that sourced from animals.[5] It is commonly found in the inner (cytoplasmic) leaflet of biological membranes.[6] It is almost entirely found in the inner monolayer of the membrane with only less than 10% of it in the outer monolayer.

Biosynthesis

edit

Phosphatidylserine (PS) is the major acidic phospholipid class that accounts for 13–15% of the phospholipids in the human cerebral cortex.[7] In the plasma membrane, PS is localized exclusively in the cytoplasmic leaflet where it forms part of protein docking sites necessary for the activation of several key signaling pathways. These include the Akt, protein kinase C (PKC) and Raf-1 signaling that is known to stimulate neuronal survival, neurite growth, and synaptogenesis.[8][9][10][11][12][13] Modulation of the PS level in the plasma membrane of neurons has a significant impact on these signaling processes.

Composition

Biosynthesis of phosphatidylserine

Phosphatidylserine is formed in bacteria (such as E. coli) through a displacement of cytidine monophosphate (CMP) through a nucleophilic attack by the hydroxyl functional group of serine. CMP is formed from CDP-diacylglycerol by PS synthase. Phosphatidylserine can eventually become phosphatidylethanolamine by the enzyme PS decarboxylase (forming carbon dioxide as a byproduct).[6] Similar to bacteria, yeast can form phosphatidylserine in an identical pathway.

In mammals, phosphatidylserine is instead derived from phosphatidylethanolamine or phosphatidylcholine through one of two Ca2+-dependent head-group exchange reactions in the endoplasmic reticulum. Both reactions require a serine but product an ethanolamine or choline, respectively. These are promoted by phosphatidylserine synthase 1 (PSS1) or 2 (PSS2).[6] Conversely, phosphatidylserine can also give rise to phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylcholine, although in animals the pathway to generate phosphatidylcholine from phosphatidylserine only operates in the liver.[14]

Role in Cognitive Function

edit

PS has been studied for its potential in improving memory, learning, and concentration. Supplementation with PS has been shown to have little effect in enhancing cognitive performance in the elderly and individuals with cognitive decline.[15]

Role in Apoptosis

edit

Phosphatidylserine plays a crucial role in the process of apoptosis, or programmed cell death. During apoptosis, PS translocates from the inner to the outer leaflet of the cell membrane, serving as a signal for phagocytic cells to engulf the dying cell.[16]

Dietary sources

edit

The average daily phosphatidylserine intake in a Western diet is estimated to be 130 mg.[17] Phosphatidylserine may be found in meat and fish. Only small amounts are found in dairy products and vegetables, with the exception of white beans and soy lecithin. Phosphatidylserine is found in soy lecithin at about 3% of total phospholipids.[18]

Supplementation

Health claims

edit

A panel of the European Food Safety Authority concluded that a cause and effect relationship cannot be established between the consumption of phosphatidylserine and "memory and cognitive functioning in the elderly", "mental health/cognitive function" and "stress reduction and enhanced memory function".[5] This conclusion follows because bovine brain cortex- and soy-based phosphatidylserine are different substances and might, therefore, have different biological activities. Therefore, the results of studies using phosphatidylserine from different sources cannot be generalized.[5]

Cognition

edit

In May, 2003 the Food and Drug Administration gave "qualified health claim" status to phosphatidylserine thus allowing labels to state "consumption of phosphatidylserine may reduce the risk of dementia and cognitive dysfunction in the elderly" along with the disclaimer "very limited and preliminary scientific research suggests that phosphatidylserine may reduce the risk of cognitive dysfunction in the elderly."[20][21] According to the FDA, there is a lack of scientific agreement amongst qualified experts that a relationship exists between phosphatidylserine and cognitive function.[20]

More recent reviews have suggested that the relationship may be more robust,[22][23] though the mechanism remains unclear.[24] A 2020 review of three clinical trials found that phosphatidylserine is likely effective for enhancing cognitive function in older people with mild cognitive impairment.[25] Some studies have suggested that whether the phosphatidylserine is plant- or animal-derived may have significance, with the FDA's statement applying specifically to soy-derived products.[20][26][27][28][29]

Safety

edit

Initially, phosphatidylserine supplements were derived from bovine cortex. However, due to the risk of potential transfer of infectious diseases such as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (or "mad cow disease"), soy-derived supplements became an alternative.[26] A 2002 safety report determined supplementation in elderly people at a dosage of 200 mg three times daily to be safe.[30] Some manufacturers of phosphatidylserine use sunflower lecithin instead of soy lecithin as a source of raw material production.
