Phosphate (Pi) is an indispensable component of living organisms. In the body, Pi homeostasis is tightly regulated by four main tissues: intestine, kidney, bone and parathyroid glands. There are multiple complex mechanisms underlying the regulation of serum Pi including hormones and transporters.

Arabidopsis inositol phosphate kinases, IPK1 and ITPK1, constitute a metabolic pathway in maintaining phosphate homeostasis [PDF]
Emerging studies have implicated a close link between inositol phosphate (InsP) metabolism and cellular phosphate (Pi) homeostasis in eukaryotes; however, whether a common InsP species is deployed as an evolutionarily conserved metabolic messenger to ...

Effect of Inositol Hexakisphosphate Kinase 2 on Transforming Growth Factor β-activated Kinase 1 and NF-κB Activation [PDF]
We previously showed that inositol hexakisphosphate kinase 2 (IHPK2) functions as a growth-suppressive and apoptosis-enhancing kinase during cell stress. Overexpression of IHPK2 sensitized ovarian carcinoma cell lines to the growth-suppressive and apoptotic effects of interferon beta (IFN-beta), IFN-alpha2, and gamma-irradiation. Expression of a kinase-

The crystal structure of mammalian inositol 1,3,4,5,6-pentakisphosphate 2-kinase reveals a new zinc-binding site and key features for protein function [PDF]
Inositol 1,3,4,5,6-pentakisphosphate 2-kinases (IP5 2-Ks) comprise a family of enzymes in charge of synthesizing inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6) in eukaryotic cells.

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 ...

Contribution of polymorphic variation of inositol hexakisphosphate kinase 3 (IP6K3) gene promoter to the susceptibility to late onset Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
Maintenance of electric potential and synaptic transmission are energetically demanding tasks that neuronal metabolism must continually satisfy. Inability to fulfil these energy requirements leads to the development of neurodegenerative disorders ...

Protein pyrophosphorylation: moving forward [PDF]
Genetic ablation of inositol pyrophosphate synthesis has established the fundamental importance of this class of molecules to the eukaryote cell. These studies, however, must be complemented by cell biology and biochemical approaches to appreciate the ...

Phytate forms insoluble precipitates with various cations that are recalcitrant to digestion in poultry. Dietary supplementation with exogenous phytase has been shown to improve phytate solubility and digestibility and, in turn, improve animal growth ...

A role for Gle1, a regulator of DEAD-box RNA helicases, at centrosomes and basal bodies. [PDF]
Control of organellar assembly and function is critical to eukaryotic homeostasis and survival. Gle1 is a highly conserved regulator of RNA-dependent DEAD-box ATPase proteins, with critical roles in both mRNA export and translation.

Broad Spectrum Anticancer Activity of Myo-Inositol and Inositol Hexakisphosphate
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 ...
