Phosphorus distribution in soils from Australian dairy and beef rearing pastoral systems [PDF]
The influence of soil type and management practices on P distribution in soils from Australian dairy and beef rearing pastoral systems has been investigated by chemical measurements and phosphorus-31 (31P) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy ...

Inositol pyrophosphates modulate hydrogen peroxide signalling
Inositol pyrophosphates are involved in a variety of cellular functions, but the specific pathways and/or downstream targets remain poorly characterized. In the present study we use Saccharomyces cerevisiae mutants to examine the potential roles of inositol pyrophosphates in responding to cell damage caused by ROS (reactive oxygen species).

Acclimation responses of Arabidopsis thaliana to sustained phosphite treatments [PDF]
Phosphite () induces a range of physiological and developmental responses in plants by disturbing the homeostasis of the macronutrient phosphate. Because of its close structural resemblance to phosphate, phosphite impairs the sensing, membrane transport,

Inositol pyrophosphates: Why so many phosphates? [PDF]
The inositol pyrophosphates (PP-InsPs) are a specialized group of "energetic" signaling molecules found in yeasts, plants and animals. PP-InsPs boast the most crowded three dimensional phosphate arrays found in Nature; multiple phosphates and diphosphates are crammed around the six-carbon, inositol ring.

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 ...

Inositol pyrophosphates regulate JMJD2C-dependent histone demethylation [PDF]
Significance Epigenetic modifications of chromatin are emerging as important regulatory mechanisms of many nuclear processes. Numerous proteins have been identified that mediate these modifications in a dynamic manner.

The Vip1 inositol polyphosphate kinase family regulates polarized growth and modulates the microtubule cytoskeleton in fungi. [PDF]
Microtubules (MTs) are pivotal for numerous eukaryotic processes ranging from cellular morphogenesis, chromosome segregation to intracellular transport. Execution of these tasks requires intricate regulation of MT dynamics.

Cellular IP6 Levels Limit HIV Production while Viruses that Cannot Efficiently Package IP6 Are Attenuated for Infection and Replication [PDF]
Summary: HIV-1 hijacks host proteins to promote infection. Here we show that HIV is also dependent upon the host metabolite inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6) for viral production and primary cell replication.

Role of the inositol pyrophosphate multikinase Kcs1 in Cryptococcus inositol metabolism. [PDF]
Cryptococcus neoformans is the most common cause of deadly fungal meningitis. This fungus has a complex inositol acquisition and utilization system, and our previous studies have shown the importance of inositol utilization in cryptococcal development and virulence. However, how inositol utilization is regulated in this fungus remains unknown.
