Role of Inositols and Inositol Phosphates in Energy Metabolism
Recently, inositols, especially myo-inositol and inositol hexakisphosphate, also known as phytic acid or IP6, with their biological activities received much attention for their role in multiple health beneficial effects.

Myo-Inositol phosphates (InsPs) and pyrophosphates (PP-InsPs) are important second messengers but their analysis remains challenging. Here, the authors develop a capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry method for the identification and quantitation ...

The inositol pyrophosphate pathway in health and diseases [PDF]
ABSTRACTInositol pyrophosphates (IPPs) are present in organisms ranging from plants, slime moulds and fungi to mammals. Distinct classes of kinases generate different forms of energetic diphosphate‐containing IPPs from inositol phosphates (IPs). Conversely, polyphosphate phosphohydrolase enzymes dephosphorylate IPPs to regenerate the respective IPs ...

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.

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).

Inositol pyrophosphates modulate S phase progression after pheromone-induced arrest in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
Several studies have demonstrated the activation of phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (Plc) in nuclei of mammalian cells during synchronous progression through the cell cycle, but the downstream targets of Plc-generated inositol 1,4,5 ...
