How inositol pyrophosphates control cellular phosphate homeostasis?
Phosphorus in his phosphate PO(4)(3-) configuration is an essential constituent of all life forms. Phosphate diesters are at the core of nucleic acid structure, while phosphate monoester transmits information under the control of protein kinases and phosphatases. Due to these fundamental roles in biology it is not a surprise that phosphate cellular homeostasis is under tight control. Inositol p...
متن کاملRole of Inorganic Polyphosphate in the Energy Metabolism of Ticks
Inorganic polyphosphates are long chains of a few to several hundred phosphate residues linked by phosphoanhydride bonds (Figure 1). Polyphosphates have been found in all cell types examined to date and have been demonstrated to play diverse roles depending on the cell type and circumstances (Kornberg et al., 1999; Kulaev & Kulakovskaya, 2000). The biological roles played by polyphosphates have...
متن کاملStudy of polyphosphate metabolism in intact cells by 31-P nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
Inorganic polyphosphates (polyp) are naturally occurring linear polymers of orthophosphate that are found in microorganisms, lower eukaryotes such as yeast, and animals (Harold 1966, Kulaev and Vagabov 1983; Wood and Clark 1988). In certain cases, polyp can accumulate to more than 10% of total dry mass. The ubiquitous presence of polyp suggests that they may have important physiological functio...
متن کاملSynthesis and Evaluation of Chromogenic and Fluorogenic Substrates for High-Throughput Detection of Enzymes That Hydrolyze Inorganic Polyphosphate
Inorganic polyphosphates, linear polymers of orthophosphate, occur naturally throughout biology and have many industrial applications. Their biodegradable nature makes them attractive for a multitude of uses, and it would be important to understand how polyphosphates are turned over enzymatically. Studies of inorganic polyphosphatases are, however, hampered by the lack of high-throughput method...
متن کاملIn vitro Studying of Deferasirox Side effects on the Structure and the Function of Bovine Liver Catalase
Background & Objective: Oral chelators such as deferasirox are used to treat iron overload caused by blood transfusion. Considering the significant role of liver in detoxification and drug metabolism as well as the importance of catalase as a key enzyme in detoxification, this study was performed to evaluate the effect of deferasirox, which is an iron chelator on the structure and the synt...
