Diphosphoinositol polyphosphates: metabolic messengers?

نویسنده

  • Stephen B Shears
چکیده

The diphosphoinositol polyphosphates ("inositol pyrophosphates") are a specialized subgroup of the inositol phosphate signaling family. This review proposes that many of the current data concerning the metabolic turnover and biological effects of the diphosphoinositol polyphosphates are linked by a common theme: these polyphosphates act as metabolic messengers. This review will also discuss the latest proposals concerning possible molecular mechanisms of action of this intriguing class of molecules.

Turnover of inositol pentakisphosphates, inositol hexakisphosphate and diphosphoinositol polyphosphates in primary cultured hepatocytes.

We have used a non-transformed cell model, the primary cultured hepatocyte, to explore the turnover of inositol hexakisphosphate, multiple isomers of inositol pentakisphosphate and two novel diphosphoinositol polyphosphates. All of these compounds gradually accumulated radioactivity throughout a 70 h period of labelling with [3H]inositol. However, a rapid metabolic rate was revealed upon inhibi...

The enzymes of human diphosphoinositol polyphosphate metabolism

Diphospho-myo-inositol polyphosphates have many roles to play, including roles in apoptosis, vesicle trafficking, the response of cells to stress, the regulation of telomere length and DNA damage repair, and inhibition of the cyclin-dependent kinase Pho85 system that monitors phosphate levels. This review focuses on the three classes of enzymes involved in the metabolism of these compounds: ino...

First synthetic analogues of diphosphoinositol polyphosphates: interaction with PP-InsP5 kinase† †Electronic supplementary information (ESI) available: Data deposition: the atomic coordinates and structure factors have been deposited in the Protein Data Bank, www.pdb.org (PDB ID code 4GB4). See DOI: 10.1039/c2cc36044f Click here for additional data file.

We synthesised analogues of diphosphoinositol polyphosphates (PP-InsPs) in which the diphosphate is replaced by an α-phosphonoacetic acid (PA) ester. Structural analysis revealed that 5-PA-InsP(5) mimics 5-PP-InsP(5) binding to the kinase domain of PPIP5K2; both molecules were phosphorylated by the enzyme. PA-InsPs are promising candidates for further studies into the biology of PP-InsPs.

The kinetic properties of a human PPIP5K reveal that its kinase activities are protected against the consequences of a deteriorating cellular bioenergetic environment

We obtained detailed kinetic characteristics--stoichiometry, reaction rates, substrate affinities and equilibrium conditions--of human PPIP5K2 (diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate kinase 2). This enzyme synthesizes 'high-energy' PP-InsPs (diphosphoinositol polyphosphates) by metabolizing InsP₆ (inositol hexakisphosphate) and 5-InsP₇ (5-diphosphoinositol 1,2,3,4,6-pentakisphosphate) to 1-InsP₇ (...

An adjacent pair of human NUDT genes on chromosome X are preferentially expressed in testis and encode two new isoforms of diphosphoinositol polyphosphate phosphohydrolase.

Combinatorial expression of the various isoforms of diphosphoinositol synthases and phosphohydrolases determines the rates of phosphorylation/dephosphorylation cycles that have been functionally linked to vesicle trafficking, stress responses, DNA repair, and apoptosis. We now describe two new 19-kDa diphosphoinositol polyphosphate phosphohydrolases (DIPPs), named types 3alpha and 3beta, which ...
