The kinetic properties of a human PPIP5K reveal that its kinase activities are protected against the consequences of a deteriorating cellular bioenergetic environment [PDF]
Diphosphoinositol polyphosphates (PP‐InsPs) link nutrient status to the regulation of cellular growth and energy homeostasis; PPInsP turnover may impact bioenergetic diseases such as diabetes. Yet the relationship between PP‐InsP synthesis and cellular bioenergetic health remains unclear.

AbstractInositol pyrophosphates (PP[InsPs) are important signalling molecules, that participate in multiple physiological processes across a wide range of eukaryotes. Metabolic pathway kinases (VIP1/VIHs) leading to the production of PP-InsPs are now well characterized in yeast and plants.

Nucleolar Architecture Is Modulated by a Small Molecule, the Inositol Pyrophosphate 5-InsP7. [PDF]
Inositol pyrophosphates (PP-InsPs); are a functionally diverse family of eukaryotic molecules that deploy a highly-specialized array of phosphate groups as a combinatorial cell-signaling code.

Asp1 Bifunctional Activity Modulates Spindle Function via Controlling Cellular Inositol Pyrophosphate Levels in Schizosaccharomyces pombe. [PDF]
The generation of two daughter cells with the same genetic information requires error-free chromosome segregation during mitosis. Chromosome transmission fidelity is dependent on spindle structure/function, which requires Asp1 in the fission yeast ...

Novel Substrates for Kinases Involved in the Biosynthesis of Inositol Pyrophosphates and Their Enhancement of ATPase Activity of a Kinase. [PDF]
IP6K and PPIP5K are two kinases involved in the synthesis of inositol pyrophosphates. Synthetic analogs or mimics are necessary to understand the substrate specificity of these enzymes and to find molecules that can alter inositol pyrophosphate synthesis.

Inositol pyrophosphate catabolism by three families of phosphatases regulates plant growth and development. [PDF]
Inositol pyrophosphates (PP-InsPs) are nutrient messengers whose cellular levels are precisely regulated. Diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate kinases (PPIP5Ks) generate the active signaling molecule 1,5-InsP8.

Application of CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology in basic research, diagnosis and treatment of colon cancer. [PDF]
Colon cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death worldwide, and its progression is accompanied by a complex array of genetic variations. CRISPR/Cas9 can identify new drug-resistant or sensitive mutations in colon cancer, and can use gene editing ...

Inositol Pyrophosphate Pathways and Mechanisms: What Can We Learn from Plants? [PDF]
The ability of an organism to maintain homeostasis in changing conditions is crucial for growth and survival. Eukaryotes have developed complex signaling pathways to adapt to a readily changing environment, including the inositol phosphate (InsP ...
