Human genome-wide RNAi screen identifies an essential role for inositol pyrophosphates in Type-I interferon response. [PDF]
The pattern recognition receptor RIG-I is critical for Type-I interferon production. However, the global regulation of RIG-I signaling is only partially understood. Using a human genome-wide RNAi-screen, we identified 226 novel regulatory proteins of RIG-

The Inositol Pyrophosphate Biosynthetic Pathway of Trypanosoma cruzi
Inositol phosphates (IPs) are phosphorylated derivatives of myo-inositol involved in the regulation of several cellular processes through their interaction with specific proteins. Their synthesis relies on the activity of specific kinases that use ATP as phosphate donor.

Inositol Phosphates and Synthesizing Enzymes: Implications in Neurodegenerative Disorders [PDF]
Inositol is a vital sugar molecule involved in numerous signaling pathways required for cellular homeostasis and cell survival. Myo-inositol and its phospho-derivatives, inositol phosphates (IPs), are the most prevalent forms of inositol found in living ...

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.

Inositol pyrophosphates and Akt: Is the pancreatic β-cell the exception to the rule? [PDF]
The inositol pyrophosphate, diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate (IP7), is thought to negatively regulate the critical insulin signaling protein Akt/PKB. Knock down of the IP7-generating inositol hexakisphosphate kinase 1 (IP6K1) results in a concomitant ...

Inositol pyrophosphates: structure, enzymology and function. [PDF]
The stereochemistry of the inositol backbone provides a platform on which to generate a vast array of distinct molecular motifs that are used to convey information both in signal transduction and many other critical areas of cell biology. Diphosphoinositol phosphates, or inositol pyrophosphates, are the most recently characterized members of the ...

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).

Turnover of inositol polyphosphate pyrophosphates in pancreatoma cells.
There is little information concerning the intracellular function of inositol 1,3,4,5,6-pentakis- and hexakisphosphate, despite their being the most abundant inositol polyphosphates. Current opinions that they play passive roles as antioxidants (Graf, E., Mahoney, J. R., Bryant, R. G., and Eaton, J. W. (1987) J. Biol. Chem.

Inositol pyrophosphates (PP-IPs) such as 5-diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate (5-IP7) are inositol metabolites with high-energy phosphoanhydride bonds. The formation of PP-IPs is catalyzed by two groups of enzymes, the IP6 kinases and the PPIP5 kinases,
