Inositol Phosphates: A Remarkably Versatile Enzyme
نویسنده
چکیده
Ins(3,4,5,6)P(4) is an inhibitor of Ca(2+)-activated Cl(-) channels, but further understanding has been hindered by ignorance of how it is made in cells. It now transpires that one protein with ATP-dependent kinase and phosphatase activities interconverts Ins(3,4,5,6)P(4) and Ins(1,3,4,5,6)P(5), as well as several other inositol polyphosphates.

Gene transcription by p53 requires inositol polyphosphate multikinase as a co-activator
The tumor suppressor p53 is a major transcription factor that induces genes regulating cell cycle arrest and death and which is inactivated in about half of all human cancers. Despite considerable research on p53, mechanisms regulating its activation have not been fully elucidated. We have recently established that the enzyme inositol polyphosphate multikinase (IPMK) is a transcriptional co-act...
متن کاملInositol polyphosphate multikinase signaling in the regulation of metabolism
Inositol phosphates (IPs) act as signaling messengers to regulate various cellular processes such as growth. Inositol polyphosphate multikinase (IPMK) generates inositol tetrakis- and pentakisphosphates (IP₄ and IP₅), acting as a key enzyme for inositol polyphosphate biosynthesis. IPMK was initially discovered as an essential subunit of the arginine-sensing transcription complex in budding yeas...
متن کاملSynthesis of inositol phosphate ligands of plant hormone-receptor complexes: pathways of inositol hexakisphosphate turnover.
Reduction of phytate is a major goal of plant breeding programs to improve the nutritional quality of crops. Remarkably, except for the storage organs of crops such as barley, maize and soybean, we know little of the stereoisomeric composition of inositol phosphates in plant tissues. To investigate the metabolic origins of higher inositol phosphates in photosynthetic tissues, we have radiolabel...
متن کاملInositol phosphates and phosphoinositides activate insulin-degrading enzyme, while phosphoinositides also mediate binding to endosomes.
Insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) hydrolyzes bioactive peptides, including insulin, amylin, and the amyloid β peptides. Polyanions activate IDE toward some substrates, yet an endogenous polyanion activator has not yet been identified. Here we report that inositol phosphates (InsPs) and phosphatdidylinositol phosphates (PtdInsPs) serve as activators of IDE. InsPs and PtdInsPs interact with the poly...
متن کاملEconomic Improvement of Myo-inositol Phosphate Generation by Enzyme Immobilization and Directed Enzyme Evolution
The potential health values of certain mo-inositol phosphates are well known. However, attempts to produce defined isomers of the different partially phosphorylated myo-inositol phosphates by non-enzymatic phytate hydrolysis or chemical synthesis is often associated with high expense and is not very efficient. Enzymatic phytate dephosphorylation was recognized as a cost effective strategy to ma...
