Inositol Pyrophosphates: Signaling Molecules with Pleiotropic Actions in Mammals [PDF]
Inositol pyrophosphates (PP-IPs) such as 5-diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate (5-IP7) are inositol metabolites containing high-energy phosphoanhydride bonds. Biosynthesis of PP-IPs is mediated by IP6 kinases (IP6Ks) and PPIP5 kinases (PPIP5Ks), which transfer phosphate to inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6).

Pathway of phytate dephosphorylation by β-propeller phytases of different origins [PDF]
Using a combination of high-performance ion chromatography analysis and kinetic studies, the pathway of myo-inositol hexakisphosphate dephosphorylation by the P-propeller phytase of Shewanella oneidensis was established, which was then compared with that

Inositol pyrophosphates modulate cell cycle independently of alteration in telomere length [PDF]
Synthesis of inositol pyrophosphates through activation of Kcs1 plays an important role in the signalling response required for cell cycle progression after mating pheromone arrest. Overexpression of Kcs1 doubled the level of inositol pyrophosphates when

The inositol pyrophosphate metabolism of Dictyostelium discoideum does not regulate inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) synthesis [PDF]
Initial studies on the inositol phosphates metabolism were enabled by the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum. The abundant amount of inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6 also known as Phytic acid) present in the amoeba allowed the discovery of the more ...

IRE1 phosphatase PP2Ce regulates adaptive ER stress response in the postpartum mammary gland. [PDF]
We recently reported that the PPM1l gene encodes an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane targeted protein phosphatase (named PP2Ce) with highly specific activity towards Inositol-requiring protein-1 (IRE1) and regulates the functional outcome of ER stress.

Regulation of Inositol Metabolism Is Fine-tuned by Inositol Pyrophosphates in Saccharomyces cerevisiae* [PDF]
Although inositol pyrophosphates have diverse roles in phosphate signaling and other important cellular processes, little is known about their functions in the biosynthesis of inositol and phospholipids. Here, we show that KCS1, which encodes an inositol pyrophosphate kinase, is a regulator of inositol metabolism.

Identification of a major IP5 kinase in Cryptococcus neoformans confirms that PP-IP5/IP7, not IP6, is essential for virulence [PDF]
Fungal inositol polyphosphate (IP) kinases catalyse phosphorylation of IP3 to inositol pyrophosphate, PP-IP5/IP7, which is essential for virulence of Cryptococcus neoformans.

Mammalian inositol polyphosphate multikinase synthesizes inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and an inositol pyrophosphate [PDF]
Using a consensus sequence in inositol phosphate kinase, we have identified and cloned a 44-kDa mammalian inositol phosphate kinase with broader catalytic capacities than any other member of the family and which we designate mammalian inositol phosphate multikinase (mIPMK).

Characterization of VPS34-IN1, a selective inhibitor of Vps34, reveals that the phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate-binding SGK3 protein kinase is a downstream target of class III phosphoinositide 3-kinase [PDF]
The Vps34 (vacuolar protein sorting 34) class III PI3K (phosphoinositide 3-kinase) phosphorylates PtdIns (phosphatidylinositol) at endosomal membranes to generate PtdIns(3)P that regulates membrane trafficking processes via its ability to recruit a ...
