Assessing the omnipotence of inositol hexakisphosphate [PDF]
This review assesses the authenticity of inositol hexakisphosphate (InsP(6)) being a wide-ranging regulator of many important cellular functions. Against a background in which the possible importance of localized InsP(6) metabolism is discussed, there is the facile explanation that InsP(6) is merely an "inactive" precursor for the diphosphorylated ...

Inositol hexakisphosphate-induced autoprocessing of large bacterial protein toxins. [PDF]
Large bacterial protein toxins autotranslocate functional effector domains to the eukaryotic cell cytosol, resulting in alterations to cellular functions that ultimately benefit the infecting pathogen.

How HIV-1 Uses the Metabolite Inositol Hexakisphosphate to Build Its Capsid [PDF]
The 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.

Essential functions of inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6) in murine leukemia virus replication [PDF]
We have investigated the function of inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6) and inositol pentakisphosphate (IP5) in the replication of murine leukemia virus (MLV).

Combined Inositol Hexakisphosphate and Inositol Supplement Consumption Improves Serum Alpha-Amylase Activity and Hematological Parameters in Streptozotocin-Induced Type 2 Diabetic Rats [PDF]
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.

Inositol hexakisphosphate primes syndapin I/PACSIN 1 activation in endocytosis. [PDF]
AbstractEndocytosis is controlled by a well-orchestrated molecular machinery, where the individual players as well as their precise interactions are not fully understood. We now show that syndapin I/PACSIN 1 is expressed in pancreatic β cells and that its knockdown abrogates β cell endocytosis leading to disturbed plasma membrane protein homeostasis ...

The Inositol Hexakisphosphate Kinase Family [PDF]
The inositol pyrophosphate disphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate (PP-InsP(3)/InsP(7)) is formed in mammals by two recently cloned inositol hexakiphosphate kinases, InsP(6)K1 and InsP(6)K2 (Saiardi, A., Erdjument-Bromage, H., Snowman, A. M., Tempst, P., and Snyder, S. H. (1999) Curr. Biol. 9, 1323-1326).

Regulation of plant biotic interactions and abiotic stress responses by inositol polyphosphates
Inositol pyrophosphates (PP-InsPs), derivatives of inositol hexakisphosphate (phytic acid, InsP6) or lower inositol polyphosphates, are energy-rich signaling molecules that have critical regulatory functions in eukaryotes. In plants, the biosynthesis and
