Metabolic Consequences of Polyphosphate Synthesis and Imminent Phosphate Limitation
Cells stabilize intracellular inorganic phosphate (Pi) to compromise between large biosynthetic needs and detrimental bioenergetic effects of Pi.

Binding of inositol phosphates to arrestin [PDF]
Arrestin binds to phosphorylated rhodopsin in its light‐activated form (metarhodopsin II), blocking thereby its interaction with the G‐protein, transducin. In this study, we show that highly phosphorylated forms of inositol compete against the arrestin‐rhodopsin interaction.

Degradation of phytate by the 6-phytase from Hafnia alvei: a combined structural and solution study. [PDF]
Phytases hydrolyse phytate (myo-inositol hexakisphosphate), the principal form of phosphate stored in plant seeds to produce phosphate and lower phosphorylated myo-inositols.

Inositols in Insulin Signaling and Glucose Metabolism
In the past decades, both the importance of inositol for human health and the complex interaction between glucose and inositol have been the subject of increasing consideration. Glucose has been shown to interfere with cellular transmembrane transport of

This method describes an in vitro assay for measuring INO1 enzyme activity (the conversion of glucose 6-phosphate to myo-inositol 3-phosphate) in cell-free extracts. The method was first described for Plasmodium falciparum cells in MacRae et al.

Countercurrent distribution of inositol lipids of plant seeds
The inositol lipids of plant seeds consist of phosphatidyl inositol, the phytoglycolipids, and a previously uncharacterized ceramide-phosphate-polysaccharide. These three species have been separated from each other and from the common glycerophosphatides

A Role for Inositol Pyrophosphates in the Metabolic Adaptations to Low Phosphate in Arabidopsis
Phosphate is a major plant macronutrient and low phosphate availability severely limits global crop productivity. In Arabidopsis, a key regulator of the transcriptional response to low phosphate, phosphate starvation response 1 (PHR1), is modulated by a ...

The Role of Inositol in Thyroid Physiology and in Subclinical Hypothyroidism Management
Myo-Inositol (MYO) is the most abundant stereoisomer of inositols’ family, cyclic polyols with 6 hydroxyl groups. Myo-Inositol has a relevant role in thyroid function and autoimmune diseases, as a precursor of phosphoinositides that takes part in the ...
