Inositol hexakisphosphate is required for Integrator function [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2022 Integrator is a multi-subunit protein complex with roles in noncoding RNA 3′-end processing and mRNA transcription attenuation. Here, the authors reveal a conserved binding site for IP6 in the Integrator cleavage module and show that IP6 binding is ...

The Role of Inositol Hexakisphosphate Kinase in the Central Nervous System [PDF]
Biomolecules, 2023 Inositol is a unique biological small molecule that can be phosphorylated or even further pyrophosphorylated on each of its six hydroxyl groups. These numerous phosphorylation states of inositol along with the kinases and phosphatases that interconvert ...

Development of a homogenous high-throughput assay for inositol hexakisphosphate kinase 1 activity. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Inositol pyrophosphates have been implicated in a wide range of cellular processes. Inositol hexakisphosphate kinase 1 catalyzes the pyrophosphorylation of inositol hexakisphosphate into inositol 5-diphospho-1,2,3,4,6-pentakisphosphate which is important

Inositol hexakisphosphate kinase-1 is a key mediator of prepulse inhibition and short-term fear memory [PDF]
Molecular Brain, 2020 Inositol phosphate metabolism has emerged as one of the key players in synaptic transmission. Previous studies have shown that the deletion of inositol hexakisphosphate kinase 1 (IP6K1), which is responsible for inositol pyrophosphate biosynthesis ...

Broad Spectrum Anticancer Activity of Myo-Inositol and Inositol Hexakisphosphate [PDF]
International Journal of Endocrinology, 2016 Inositols (myo-inositol and inositol hexakisphosphate) exert a wide range of critical activities in both physiological and pathological settings. Deregulated inositol metabolism has been recorded in a number of diseases, including cancer, where inositol ...

Primate lentiviruses require Inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6) or inositol pentakisphosphate (IP5) for the production of viral particles. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2020 Inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6) potently stimulates HIV-1 particle assembly in vitro and infectious particle production in vivo. However, knockout cells lacking inositol-pentakisphosphate 2-kinase (IPPK-KO), the enzyme that produces IP6 by ...

How HIV-1 Uses the Metabolite Inositol Hexakisphosphate to Build Its Capsid [PDF]
VirusesThe HIV-1 capsid is one of virology’s most iconic structures, yet how it assembles has long remained elusive. Remarkably, the capsid is made from just a single protein, CA, which forms a lattice of ~250 hexamers and exactly 12 pentamers.

Combined Inositol Hexakisphosphate and Inositol Supplement Consumption Improves Serum Alpha-Amylase Activity and Hematological Parameters in Streptozotocin-Induced Type 2 Diabetic Rats [PDF]
Advances in Pharmacological Sciences, 2019 This study evaluated the effect of combined inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6) and inositol supplement on organ weight, intestinal ATPase activities, complete blood count, and serum analytes in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced type 2 diabetic rats.
