Crystal Structure and Enzymology of Solanum tuberosum Inositol Tris/Tetrakisphosphate Kinase 1 (StITPK1). [PDF]
Inositol phosphates and their pyrophosphorylated derivatives are responsive to the phosphate supply and are agents of phosphate homeostasis and other aspects of physiology. It seems likely that the enzymes that interconvert these signals work against the

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.

Unveiling the Plasmodium inositol (pyro)phosphate pathway: Highlighting inositol polyphosphate multikinase as a novel therapeutic target for malaria. [PDF]
Plasmodium falciparum malaria is fatal if left untreated. Treatment is hampered by drug-resistant variants of the malaria parasite, highlighting the need to explore unique pathways for the development of new drugs with different mechanisms of action ...

The PPIP5K Family Member Asp1 Controls Inorganic Polyphosphate Metabolism in S. pombe [PDF]
Inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) which is ubiquitously present in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, consists of up to hundreds of orthophosphate residues linked by phosphoanhydride bonds.

NUDIX hydrolases target specific inositol pyrophosphates and regulate phosphate homeostasis and bacterial pathogen susceptibility in Arabidopsis. [PDF]
NUDIX‐type hydrolase enzymes of subclade I and II preferentially target the inositol pyrophosphate messengers 4‐ and 3‐InsP7, respectively. Inactivation of subclade II NUDTs disrupts phosphate homeostasis and enhances bacterial resistance, revealing connections between defense and nutrient signaling.

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol phosphates: a novel post-translational modification in plants? [PDF]
Inositol pyrophosphates (PP-InsPs) are energy-rich molecules harboring one or more diphosphate moieties. PP-InsPs are found in all eukaryotes evaluated and their functional versatility is reflected in the various cellular events in which they take part ...

Inositol metabolism as a broad-spectrum antiviral target. [PDF]
Inositol plays many important roles in cellular processes through its various derivatives including phosphatidylinositol phosphates. Viruses use phosphatidylinositol phosphates for their replication in multiple processes including entry, formation of ...
