Adaptation ofSaccharomyces cerevisiaeto toxic manganese concentration triggers changes in inorganic polyphosphates

Correction: The new world of inorganic polyphosphates.

Figure 1 Model of two independent PTMs, serine-pyrophosphorylation and lysine-polyphosphorylation Protein pyrophosphorylation is the transfer of the b-phosphate group of the pyrophosphate moiety of IP7 on to a pre-phosphorylated serine residue (left) [16,17]. Conversely, protein polyphosphorylation is the covalent attachment of a chain of inorganic polyP on to a lysine residue dependent on the ...

Inorganic polyphosphates in biology: structure, metabolism, and function.

Dietary iron concentration influences serum concentrations of manganese in rats consuming organic or inorganic sources of manganese.

To determine the effects of dietary Fe concentration on Mn bioavailability in rats fed inorganic or organic Mn sources, fifty-four 22-d-old male rats were randomly assigned and fed a basal diet (2·63 mg Fe/kg) supplemented with 0 (low Fe (L-Fe)), 35 (adequate Fe (A-Fe)) or 175 (high Fe (H-Fe)) mg Fe/kg with 10 mg Mn/kg from MnSO4 or Mn-lysine chelate (MnLys). Tissues were harvested after 21 d o...

Analysis of inorganic polyphosphates by capillary gel electrophoresis.

This paper describes the development of a method that uses capillary gel electrophoresis (CGE) to analyze mixtures of inorganic polyphosphate ((P(i))(n)). Resolution of (P(i))(n) on the basis of n, the number of residues of dehydrated phosphate, is accomplished by CGE using capillaries filled with solutions of poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide) (PDMA) and indirect detection by the UV absorbance of a ...

Inorganic carbon acquisition in potentially toxic and non-toxic diatoms: the effect of pH-induced changes in seawater carbonate chemistry.

The effects of pH-induced changes in seawater carbonate chemistry on inorganic carbon (C(i)) acquisition and domoic acid (DA) production were studied in two potentially toxic diatom species, Pseudo-nitzschia multiseries and Nitzschia navis-varingica, and the non-toxic Stellarima stellaris. In vivo activities of carbonic anhydrase (CA), photosynthetic O(2) evolution and CO(2) and HCO(3)(-) uptak...
