Influence of inositol on the metabolic profile in women with diabetes and other insulin-resistant conditions

open access: yesРепродуктивная эндокринология
The literature review summarizes the current data on the biological properties of inositols - a natural group of polyols (sugars) classified as cyclohexanols. These compounds are widely represented in food products (cereals, legumes, nuts, seeds, melons,

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

Anticancer Properties of Inositol Hexaphosphate and Inositol: An Overview

open access: yesJournal of Nutritional Science and Vitaminology, 2019
Inositol hexaphosphate (IP6) and its parent compound myo-inositol (Ins) are active compounds from rice and other grains, with a broad spectrum of biological activities important in health and diseases. However, the most striking is the anticancer effect of IP6 and Ins that has been actively investigated during the last decades.

Enantiodivergence in Small-Molecule Catalysis of Asymmetric Phosphorylation:  Concise Total Syntheses of the Enantiomeric d-myo-Inositol-1-phosphate and d-myo-Inositol-3-phosphate

open access: yes, 2016
Peptide-based catalysts have been found that catalyze the enantiodivergent phosphorylation of a meso myo-inositol-derived triol (1). The sequential screening of random peptide libraries, followed by the evaluation of a focused library, led to the ...

Probing enzymes late in the trypanosomal glycosylphosphatidylinositol biosynthetic pathway with synthetic glycosylphosphatidylinositol analogues [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins are abundant in the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma brucei, the causative agent of African sleeping sickness in humans and the related disease Nagana in cattle, and disruption of GPI biosynthesis is ...

Tumour–host interactions in Drosophila: mechanisms in the tumour micro‐ and macroenvironment

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
This review examines how tumour–host crosstalk takes place at multiple levels of biological organisation, from local cell competition and immune crosstalk to organism‐wide metabolic and physiological collapse. Here, we integrate findings from Drosophila melanogaster studies that reveal conserved mechanisms through which tumours hijack host systems to ...

Skeletal muscle lipids. II. Changes in phospholipid composition in man from fetal to middle age

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1974
Phospholipid compositions were determined in samples of gastrocnemius muscles of individuals from fetal stage to the age of 55 yr. The lipids were separated by thin-layer chromatography. In order to enable characterization of the individual phospholipids,

EDNRB‐dependent endothelin signaling reduces proliferation and promotes proneural‐to‐mesenchymal transition in gliomas

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Glioma cells mainly express the endothelin receptor EDNRB, while EDNRA is restricted to a perivascular tumor subpopulation. Endothelin signaling reduces glioma cell proliferation while promoting migration and a proneural‐to‐mesenchymal transition associated with poor prognosis. This pathway activates Ca2+, K+, ERK, and STAT3 signalings and is regulated

Biochemical and structural characterization of an inositol pyrophosphate kinase from a giant virus

open access: yesThe EMBO Journal
Kinases that synthesize inositol phosphates (IPs) and pyrophosphates (PP-IPs) control numerous biological processes in eukaryotic cells. Herein, we extend this cellular signaling repertoire to viruses. We have biochemically and structurally characterized

Disruption of INOS, a Gene Encoding myo-Inositol Phosphate Synthase, Causes Male Sterility in Drosophila melanogaster

open access: yesG3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2018
Inositol is a precursor for the phospholipid membrane component phosphatidylinositol (PI), involved in signal transduction pathways, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and osmoregulation.
