During the sequencing of the gene GSP2 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae , we have encountered an adjacent open reading frame having strong homology to the 3‐phosphoserine aminotransferase (E.C.2.6.1.52) from other organisms. In this report, we present the sequence for this yeast SERC , and evidence that its deletion from the yeast genome leads to serine dependency. The sequence has been deposited in the GenBank data library under Accession Number L20917.
