Towards pharmacological intervention in inositol pyrophosphate signalling. [PDF]
To help define the molecular basis of cellular signalling cascades, and their biological functions, there is considerable value in utilizing a high-quality chemical ‘probe’ that has a well-defined interaction with a specific cellular protein. Such reagents include inhibitors of protein kinases and small molecule kinases, as well as mimics or ...

Inositol pyrophosphates and their unique metabolic complexity: analysis by gel electrophoresis.
BackgroundInositol pyrophosphates are a recently characterized cell signalling molecules responsible for the pyrophosphorylation of protein substrates. Though likely involved in a wide range of cellular functions, the study of inositol pyrophosphates has

A novel method for the purification of inositol phosphates from biological samples reveals that no phytate is present in human plasma or urine [PDF]
Inositol phosphates are a large and diverse family of signalling molecules. While genetic studies have discovered important functions for them, the biochemistry behind these roles is often not fully characterized.

Using organic phosphorus to sustain pasture productivity: A perspective [PDF]
Organic phosphorus (P) in grazed pastures/grasslands could sustain production systems that historically relied on inorganic P fertiliser. Interactions between inorganic P, plants and soils have been studied extensively.

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

This study explores the opposing effects of the mGluR2 and mGluR3 receptors on amyloid precursor protein processing. mGluR2 promotes amyloidogenic cleavage, while mGluR3 favors non‐amyloidogenic pathways. Using a brain‐penetrant nanobody as a mGluR2 positive allosteric modulator, the study uncovers how its chronic activation aggravates amyloid‐β burden

Inositol Pyrophosphates Inhibit Synaptotagmin-Dependent Exocytosis [PDF]
Inositol pyrophosphates such as IP7 (5-diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate) are highly energetic inositol metabolites containing pyrophosphate bonds. While IP7 are known to regulate various biological events like metabolism, the molecular site of IP7 action in vesicle trafficking remains elusive.
