Development of a homogenous high-throughput assay for inositol hexakisphosphate kinase 1 activity. [PDF]
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

Scalable Chemoenzymatic Synthesis of Inositol Pyrophosphates [PDF]
The inositol pyrophosphates (PP-InsPs) are an important group of cellular messengers that influence a broad range of biological processes. To elucidate the functions of these high-energy metabolites at the biochemical level, access to the purified molecules is required.

The Role of Inositol Hexakisphosphate Kinase in the Central Nervous System
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 ...

Versatile signaling mechanisms of inositol pyrophosphates
Inositol pyrophosphates (PP-InsPs) constitute a group of highly charged messengers, which regulate central biological processes in health and disease, such as cellular phosphate and general energy homeostasis. Deciphering the molecular mechanisms underlying PP-InsP-mediated signaling remains a challenge due to the unique properties of these molecules ...

Structural insight into inositol pyrophosphate turnover [PDF]
The diphosphoinositol polyphosphates ("inositol pyrophosphates"; PP-InsPs) regulate many cellular processes in eukaryotes, including stress responses, apoptosis, vesicle trafficking, cytoskeletal dynamics, exocytosis, telomere maintenance, insulin signaling and neutrophil activation.

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 ...

Inositol Pyrophosphates Get the Vip1 Treatment [PDF]
Inositol pyrophosphates are unique signaling molecules implicated in the regulation of diverse cellular processes. Two new studies by Mulugu et al. (2007) and Lee et al. (2007) extend the biological and metabolic diversity of this class of molecules. They identify yeast Vip1 as a new inositol pyrophosphate synthase and show that the products of Vip1 ...

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.

Affinity enrichment and identification of inositol poly- and pyrophosphate interactomes
Summary: This protocol describes an affinity enrichment approach from mammalian cell extracts to identify protein binding partners of inositol hexakisphosphate (InsP6) and 5-diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate (5PP-InsP5), two important eukaryotic ...
