Abstract
The plant macronutrient phosphorus is a scarce resource and plant-available phosphate is limiting in most soil types. Generally, a gene regulatory module called the phosphate starvation response (PSR) enables efficient phosphate acquisition by roots and translocation to other organs. Plants growing on moderate to nutrient-rich soils need to co-ordinate availability of different nutrients and repress the highly efficient PSR to adjust phosphate acquisition to the availability of other macro- and micronutrients, and in particular nitrogen. PSR repression is mediated by a small family of single SYG1/Pho81/XPR1 (SPX) domain proteins. The SPX domain binds higher order inositol pyrophosphates that signal cellular phosphorus status and modulate SPX protein interaction with PHOSPHATE STARVATION RESPONSE1 (PHR1), the central transcriptional regulator of PSR. Sequestration by SPX repressors restricts PHR1 access to PSR gene promoters. Here we focus on SPX4 that primarily acts in shoots and sequesters many transcription factors other than PHR1 in the cytosol to control processes beyond the classical PSR, such as nitrate, auxin, and jasmonic acid signalling. Unlike SPX1 and SPX2, SPX4 is subject to proteasomal degradation not only by singular E3 ligases, but also by SCF-CRL complexes. Emerging models for these different layers of control and their consequences for plant acclimation to the environment will be discussed.

Abstract
Through facilitating DNA homologous recombination repair, PPIP5K2 has been proven to be essential for improving colorectal cancer survival in our previous research. However, its function in the tumorigenesis of NSCLC, the most common cancer and the primary cause of cancer-related death globally, is still unknown. Here, we initially discovered that PPIP5K2 had significant effects on proliferation of NSCLC cells through loss- and gain-of-function assays in vitro and in vivo. Moreover, PPIP5K2 is capable of regulating NSCLC cells metastasis in an EMT-dependent manner. In terms of mechanism exploration, we found that PPIP5K2 knockdown can significantly inhibit the phosphorylation of AKT/mTOR signaling pathway, whereas the overexpression of PPIP5K2 resulted in converse effects. By employing AKT signaling related agonists or antagonists, we further demonstrated that PPIP5K2 regulates NSCLC tumorigenesis partly via the AKT/mTOR pathway. In conclusion, PPIP5K2 plays a key oncogenic role in NSCLC by the activation of the AKT/mTOR signaling axis. It is anticipated that targeting PPIP5K2 might emerge as a viable therapeutic approach for NSCLC patients.

Abstract
Jasmonic acid (JA) is a plant hormone that regulates a plethora of physiological processes including immunity and development and is perceived by the F-Box protein, Coronatine-insensitive protein 1 (COI1). The discovery of inositol phosphates (InsPs) in the COI1 receptor complex highlights their role in JAperception. InsPs are phosphate-rich signaling molecules that control many aspects of plant physiology. Inositol pyrophosphates (PP-InsPs) are diphosphate containing InsP species, of which InsP7 and InsP8 are the best characterized ones. Different InsP and PP-InsP species are linked with JA-related plant immunity. However, role of PP-InsP species in regulating JA-dependent developmental processes are poorly understood. Recent identification of ITPK1 kinase, responsible for the production of 5-InsP7 from InsP6in planta, provides a platform to investigate the possible involvement of ITPK-derived InsP species in JA-related plant development. Here, in this study, we report that ITPK1-defective plants exhibit increased root growth inhibition to bioactive JA treatment. The itpk1 plants also show increased lateral root density when treated with JA. Notably, JA treatment does not increase ITPK1 protein levels. Gene expression analyses revealed that JA-biosynthetic genes are not differentially expressed in ITPK1-deficient plants. We further demonstrate that genes encoding different JAZ repressor proteins are severely down-regulated in ITPK1-defective plants. Taken together, our study highlights the role of ITPK1 in regulating JA-dependent root architecture development through controlling the expression of different JAZ repressor proteins.

Abstract
Inositol pyrophosphates are important biomolecules associated with apoptosis, cell growth and kinase regulation, yet their exact biological roles are still emerging and probes do not exist for their selective detection. We report the first molecular probe for the selective and sensitive detection of the most abundant cellular inositol pyrophosphate 5-PP-InsP5, as well as an efficient new synthesis. The probe is based on a macrocyclic Eu(iii) complex bearing two quinoline arms providing a free coordination site at the Eu(iii) metal centre. Bidentate binding of the pyrophosphate group of 5-PP-InsP5 to the Eu(iii) ion is proposed, supported by DFT calculations, giving rise to a selective enhancement in Eu(iii) emission intensity and lifetime. We demonstrate the use of time-resolved luminescence as a bioassay tool for monitoring enzymatic processes in which 5-PP-InsP5 is consumed. Our probe offers a potential screening methodology to identify drug-like compounds that modulate the activity of enzymes of inositol pyrophosphate metabolism.

Abstract
Inositol poly- and pyrophosphates (InsPs and PP-InsPs) are central eukaryotic messengers. These very highly phosphorylated molecules can exist in two distinct conformations, a canonical one with five phosphoryl groups in equatorial positions, and a “flipped” conformation with five axial substituents. Using 13C-labeled InsPs/PP-InsPs, the behavior of these molecules was investigated by 2D-NMR under solution conditions reminiscent of a cytosolic environment. Remarkably, the most highly phosphorylated messenger 1,5(PP)2-InsP4 (also termed InsP8) readily adopts both conformations at physiological conditions. Environmental factors—such as pH, metal cation composition, and temperature—strongly influence the conformational equilibrium. Thermodynamic data revealed that the transition of InsP8 from the equatorial to the axial conformation is, in fact, an exothermic process. The speciation of InsPs and PP-InsPs also affects their interaction with protein binding partners; addition of Mg2+ decreased the binding constant Kd of InsP8 to an SPX protein domain. The results illustrate that PP-InsP speciation reacts very sensitively to solution conditions, suggesting it might act as an environment-responsive molecular switch.

Abstract
The antifungal drug itraconazole has been repurposed to anti-angiogenic agent, but the mechanisms of action have been elusive. Here we report that itraconazole disrupts focal adhesion dynamics and cytoskeletal remodeling, which requires 5-diphosphoinositol 1,2,3,4,6-pentakisphosphate (5-InsP7). We find that inositol hexakisphosphate kinase 1 (IP6K1) binds Arp2 and generates 5-InsP7 to recruit coronin, a negative regulator of the Arp2/3 complex. IP6K1 also produces focal adhesion-enriched 5-InsP7, which binds focal adhesion kinase (FAK) at the FERM domain to promote its dimerization and phosphorylation. Itraconazole treatment elicits displacement of IP6K1/5-InsP7, thus augments 5-InsP7-mediated inhibition of Arp2/3 complex and reduces 5-InsP7-mediated FAK dimerization. Itraconazole-treated cells display reduced focal adhesion dynamics and actin cytoskeleton remodeling. Accordingly, itraconazole severely disrupts cell motility, an essential component of angiogenesis. These results demonstrate critical roles of IP6K1-generated 5-InsP7 in regulating focal adhesion dynamics and actin cytoskeleton remodeling and reveal functional mechanisms by which itraconazole inhibits cell motility.

Abstract
Inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) is an ancient energy metabolite and phosphate store that occurs ubiquitously in all organisms. The vacuolar transporter chaperone (VTC) complex integrates cytosolic polyP synthesis from ATP and polyP membrane translocation into the vacuolar lumen. In yeast and in other eukaryotes, polyP synthesis is regulated by inositol pyrophosphate (PP-InsP) nutrient messengers, directly sensed by the VTC complex. Here, we report the cryo-electron microscopy structure of signal-activated VTC complex at 3.0 Å resolution. Baker's yeast VTC subunits Vtc1, Vtc3, and Vtc4 assemble into a 3:1:1 complex. Fifteen trans-membrane helices form a novel membrane channel enabling the transport of newly synthesized polyP into the vacuolar lumen. PP-InsP binding orients the catalytic polymerase domain at the entrance of the trans-membrane channel, both activating the enzyme and coupling polyP synthesis and membrane translocation. Together with biochemical and cellular studies, our work provides mechanistic insights into the biogenesis of an ancient energy metabolite.

Abstract
Inositol pyrophosphates regulate diverse physiological processes; to better understand their functional roles, assessing their tissue-specific distribution is important. Here, we profiled inositol pyrophosphate levels in mammalian organs using an originally designed liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) protocol and discovered that the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) contained the highest levels of diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate (IP7) and its precursor inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6). Although their absolute levels in the GIT are diet dependent, elevated IP7 metabolism still exists under dietary regimens devoid of exogenous IP7. Of the major GIT cells, enteric neurons selectively express the IP7-synthesizing enzyme IP6K2. We found that IP6K2-knockout mice exhibited significantly impaired IP7 metabolism in the various organs including the proximal GIT. In addition, our LC-MS analysis displayed that genetic ablation of IP6K2 significantly impaired IP7 metabolism in the gut and duodenal muscularis externa containing myenteric plexus. Whole transcriptome analysis of duodenal muscularis externa further suggested that IP6K2 inhibition significantly altered expression levels of the gene sets associated with mature neurons, neural progenitor/stem cells, and glial cells, as well as of certain genes modulating neuronal differentiation and functioning, implying critical roles of the IP6K2-IP7 axis in developmental and functional regulation of the enteric nervous system. These results collectively reveal an unexpected role of mammalian IP7-a highly active IP6K2-IP7 pathway is conducive to the enteric nervous system.

Abstract
Technical challenges have to date prevented a complete profiling of the levels of myo-inositol phosphates (InsPs) and pyrophosphates (PP-InsPs) in mammalian tissues. Here, we have deployed capillary electrophoresis mass spectrometry to identify and record the levels of InsPs and PP-InsPs in several tissues obtained from wild type mice and a newly created PPIP5K2 knockout strain. We observe that the mouse colon harbours unusually high levels of InsPs and PP-InsPs. Additionally, the PP-InsP profile is considerably more complex than previously reported for animal cells: using chemically synthesized internal stable isotope references and high-resolution mass spectra, we characterize two new PP-InsP isomers as 4/6-PP-InsP5 and 2-PP-InsP5. The latter has not previously been described in nature. The analysis of feces and the commercial mouse diet suggests that the latter is one potential source of noncanonical isomers in the colon. However, we also identify both molecules in the heart, indicating unknown synthesis pathways in mammals. We also demonstrate that the CE-MS method is sensitive enough to measure PP-InsPs from patient samples such as colon biopsies and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Strikingly, PBMCs also contain 4/6-PP-InsP5 and 2-PP-InsP5. In summary, our study substantially expands PP-InsP biology in mammals.

Abstract
Inositol is an essential metabolite that serves as a precursor for structural and signaling molecules. Although perturbation of inositol homeostasis has been implicated in numerous human disorders, surprisingly little is known about how inositol levels are regulated in mammalian cells. A recent study in mouse embryonic fibroblasts demonstrated that nuclear translocation of inositol hexakisphosphate kinase 1 (IP6K1) mediates repression of myo-inositol-3-P synthase (MIPS), the rate-limiting inositol biosynthetic enzyme. Binding of IP6K1 to phosphatidic acid (PA) is required for this repression. Here, we elucidate the role of PA in IP6K1 repression. Our results indicate that increasing PA levels through pharmacological stimulation of phospholipase D (PLD) or direct supplementation of 18:1 PA induces nuclear translocation of IP6K1 and represses expression of the MIPS protein. We found that this effect was specific to PA synthesized in the plasma membrane, as endoplasmic reticulum–derived PA did not induce IP6K1 translocation. Furthermore, we determined that PLD-mediated PA synthesis can be stimulated by the master metabolic regulator 5′ AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). We show that activation of AMPK by glucose deprivation or by treatment with the mood-stabilizing drugs valproate or lithium recapitulated IP6K1 nuclear translocation and decreased MIPS expression. This study demonstrates for the first time that modulation of PA levels through the AMPK-PLD pathway regulates IP6K1-mediated repression of MIPS.

Abstract
Inositol phosphates belong to a family of structurally diverse signaling molecules playing crucial role in Ca2+ release from intracellular storage vesicles. There are many possibilities of phosphorylation, including their degree and position. Inositol (1,4,5) trisphosphate has been well recognized as the most important second messenger among this family. It remains a challenge to analyse the entire inositol phosphate metabolite family due to its structural complexity, high polarity, and high phosphate density. In this study, we have established an improved UHPLC-ESI-MS/MS method based on a differential isotope labelling methylation strategy. An SPE extraction kit composed of TiO2 and PTFE filter was employed for sample preparation which provided good extraction performance. Samples were methylated (light label) to neutralize the phosphate groups and give better performance in liquid chromatography. Regioisomers and inositol phosphates differing in their number of phosphate residues were successfully separated after optimization on a core-shell cholesterylether-bonded RP-type column (Cosmocore 2.6Cholester) using methanol as organic modifier. Triple quadrupole MS detection was based on selected reaction monitoring (SRM) acquisition with characteristic fragments. Stable isotope labeling methylation was performed to generate internal standards (heavy label). Limits of quantification from 0.32 to 0.89 pmol on column was achieved. This method was validated to be suitable for inositol phosphate profiling in biological samples. After application in cultured HeLa cells, NIST SRM1950 plasma, and human platelets, distinct inositol profiles were obtained. This newly established method exhibited improved analytical performance, holding the potential to advance the understanding of inositol phosphate signaling.

Abstract
Inositol pyrophosphates (PP-InsPs), derivatives of inositol hexakisphosphate (phytic acid, InsP6) or lower inositol polyphosphates, are energy-rich signaling molecules that have critical regulatory functions in eukaryotes. In plants, the biosynthesis and the cellular targets of these messengers are not fully understood. This is because, in part, plants do not possess canonical InsP6 kinases and are able to synthesize PP-InsP isomers that appear to be absent in yeast or mammalian cells. This review will shed light on recent discoveries in the biosynthesis of these enigmatic messengers and on how they regulate important physiological processes in response to abiotic and biotic stresses in plants.

Abstract
Stress and nutrient availability influence cell proliferation through complex intracellular signalling networks. In a previous study it was found that pyro-inositol polyphosphates (InsP7 and InsP8 ) produced by VIP1 kinase, and target of rapamycin (TOR) kinase signalling interacted synergistically to control cell growth and lipid metabolism in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. However, the relationship between InsPs and TOR was not completely elucidated. We used an in vivo assay for TOR activity together with global proteomic and phosphoproteomic analyses to assess differences between wild-type and vip1-1 in the presence and absence of rapamycin. We found that TOR signalling is more severely affected by the inhibitor rapamycin in a vip1-1 mutant compared with wild-type, indicating that InsP7 and InsP8 produced by VIP1 act independently but also coordinately with TOR. Additionally, among hundreds of differentially phosphorylated peptides detected, an enrichment for photosynthesis-related proteins was observed, particularly photosystem II proteins. The significance of these results was underscored by the finding that vip1-1 strains show multiple defects in photosynthetic physiology that were exacerbated under high light conditions. These results suggest a novel role for inositol pyrophosphates and TOR signalling in coordinating photosystem phosphorylation patterns in Chlamydomonas cells in response to light stress and possibly other stresses.

Abstract
5-diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate (5-IP7) is a signalling metabolite linked to various cellular processes. How extracellular stimuli elicit 5-IP7 signalling remains unclear. Here we show that 5-IP7 in β cells mediates parasympathetic stimulation of synaptotagmin-7 (Syt7)-dependent insulin release. Mechanistically, vagal stimulation and activation of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors triggers Gαq-PLC-PKC-PKD-dependent signalling and activates IP6K1, the 5-IP7 synthase. Whereas both 5-IP7 and its precursor IP6 compete with PIP2 for binding to Syt7, Ca2+ selectively binds 5-IP7 with high affinity, freeing Syt7 to enable fusion of insulin-containing vesicles with the cell membrane. β-cell-specific IP6K1 deletion diminishes insulin secretion and glucose clearance elicited by muscarinic stimulation, whereas mice carrying a phosphorylation-mimicking, hyperactive IP6K1 mutant display augmented insulin release, congenital hyperinsulinaemia and obesity. These phenotypes are absent in mice lacking Syt7. Our study proposes a new conceptual framework for inositol pyrophosphate physiology in which 5-IP7 acts as a GPCR second messenger at the interface between peripheral nervous system and metabolic organs, transmitting Gq-coupled GPCR stimulation to unclamp Syt7-dependent, and perhaps other, exocytotic events.

Abstract
This study, for the first time, used CRISPR/Cas9 to disrupt TaIPK1 gene in wheat. Disruption of TaIPK1 gene reduces phytic acid and enhanced Iron and Zinc in wheat grains. This study will help to develop the biofortified wheat and reducing the malnutrition. This study provided a great resource for the development of biofortified wheat using CRISPR/Cas9.
Introduction Phytic acid (PA) is an important antinutrient agent present in cereal grains which reduces the bioavailability of iron and zinc in human body, causing malnutrition. Inositol pentakisphosphate 2- kinase 1 (IPK1) gene has been reported to be an important gene for PA biosynthesis. Objective A recent genome editing tool CRISPR/Cas9 has been successfully applied to develop biofortified rice by disrupting IPK1 gene, however, it remained a challenge in wheat. The aim of this study was to biofortify wheat using CRISPR/Cas9. Methods In this study, we isolated 3 TaIPK1 homeologs in wheat designated as TaIPK1.A, TaIPK1.B and TaIPK1.D and found that the expression abundance of TaIPK1.A was stronger in early stages of grain filling. Using CRISPR/Cas9, we have disrupted TaIPK1.A gene in cv. Borlaug-2016 with two guide RNAs targeting the 1st and 2nd exons. Results We got several genome-edited lines in the T0 generation at frequencies of 12.7% and 10.8%. Sequencing analysis revealed deletion of 1–23 nucleotides and even an addition of 1 nucleotide in various lines. Analysis of the genome-edited lines revealed a significant decrease in the PA content and an increase in iron and zinc accumulation in grains compared with control plants. Conclusion Our study demonstrates the potential application of CRISPR/Cas9 technique for the rapid generation of biofortified wheat cultivars.

Abstract
Inositol phosphates are water-soluble intracellular signaling molecules found in eukaryotes from yeasts to mammals, which are synthesized by a complex network of enzymes including inositol phosphate kinases. Among these, inositol polyphosphate multikinase (IPMK) is a promiscuous enzyme with broad substrate specificity, which phosphorylates multiple inositol phosphates, as well as phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate. In addition to its catalytic actions, IPMK is known to non-catalytically control major signaling events via direct protein-protein interactions. In this review, we describe the general characteristics of IPMK, highlight its pleiotropic roles in various physiological and pathological conditions, and discuss future challenges in the field of IPMK signaling pathways.

Abstract
The yeast diadenosine and diphosphoinositol polyphosphate phosphohydrolase DDP1 is a Nudix enzyme with pyrophosphatase activity on diphosphoinositides, dinucleotides, and polyphosphates. These substrates bind to diverse protein targets and participate in signaling and metabolism, being essential for energy and phosphate homeostasis, ATPase pump regulation, or protein phosphorylation. An exhaustive structural study of DDP1 in complex with multiple ligands related to its three diverse substrate classes is reported. This allowed full characterization of the DDP1 active site depicting the molecular basis for endowing multisubstrate abilities to a Nudix enzyme, driven by phosphate anchoring following a defined path. This study, combined with multiple enzyme variants, reveals the different substrate binding modes, preferences, and selection. Our findings expand current knowledge on this important structural superfamily with implications extending beyond inositide research. This work represents a valuable tool for inhibitor/substrate design for ScDDP1 and orthologs as potential targets to address fungal infections and other health concerns.

Inositol polyphosphates are ubiquitous molecular signals in metazoans, as are their pyrophosphorylated derivatives that bear a so-called ‘high-energy’ phosphoanhydride bond. A structural rationale is provided for the ability of Arabidopsis inositol tris/tetrakisphosphate kinase 1 to discriminate between symmetric and enantiomeric substrates in the production of diverse symmetric and asymmetric myo-inositol phosphate and diphospho-myo-inositol phosphate (inositol pyrophosphate) products. Simple tools are applied to chromatographic resolution and detection of known and novel diphosphoinositol phosphates without resort to radiolabeling approaches. It is shown that inositol tris/tetrakisphosphate kinase 1 and inositol pentakisphosphate 2-kinase comprise a reversible metabolic cassette converting Ins(3,4,5,6)P4 into 5-InsP7 and back in a nucleotide-dependent manner. Thus, inositol tris/tetrakisphosphate kinase 1 is a nexus of bioenergetics status and inositol polyphosphate/diphosphoinositol phosphate metabolism. As such, it commands a role in plants that evolution has assigned to a different class of enzyme in mammalian cells. The findings and the methods described will enable a full appraisal of the role of diphosphoinositol phosphates in plants and particularly the relative contribution of reversible inositol phosphate hydroxykinase and inositol phosphate phosphokinase activities to plant physiology.

Abstract
Inositols, a group of 6-carbon polyols, are highly bioactive molecules derived from diet and endogenous synthesis. Inositols and their derivatives are involved in glucose and lipid metabolism and participate in insulin-signaling, with perturbations in inositol processing being associated with conditions involving insulin resistance, dysglycemia and dyslipidemia such as polycystic ovary syndrome and diabetes. Pregnancy is similarly characterized by substantial and complex changes in glycemic and lipidomic regulation as part of maternal adaptation and is also associated with physiological alterations in inositol processing. Disruptions in maternal adaptation are postulated to have a critical pathophysiological role in pregnancy complications such as gestational diabetes and pre-eclampsia. Inositol supplementation has shown promise as an intervention for the alleviation of symptoms in conditions of insulin resistance and for gestational diabetes prevention. However, the mechanisms behind these affects are not fully understood. In this review, we explore the role of inositols in conditions of insulin dysregulation and in pregnancy, and identify priority areas for research. We particularly examine the role and function of inositols within the maternal-placental-fetal axis in both uncomplicated and pathological pregnancies. We also discuss how inositols may mediate maternal-placental-fetal cross-talk, and regulate fetal growth and development, and suggest that inositols play a vital role in promoting healthy pregnancy.

Abstract
The analysis of myo-inositol phosphates (InsPs) and myo-inositol pyrophosphates (PP-InsPs) is a daunting challenge due to the large number of possible isomers, the absence of a chromophore, the high charge density, the low abundance, and the instability of the esters and anhydrides. Given their importance in biology, an analytical approach to follow and understand this complex signaling hub is desirable. Here, capillary electrophoresis (CE) coupled to electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) is implemented to analyze complex mixtures of InsPs and PP-InsPs with high sensitivity. Stable isotope labeled (SIL) internal standards allow for matrix-independent quantitative assignment. The method is validated in wild-type and knockout mammalian cell lines and in model organisms. SIL-CE-ESI-MS enables the accurate monitoring of InsPs and PP-InsPs arising from compartmentalized cellular synthesis pathways, by feeding cells with either [13C6]-myo-inositol or [13C6]-D-glucose. In doing so, we provide evidence for the existence of unknown inositol synthesis pathways in mammals, highlighting the potential of this method to dissect inositol phosphate metabolism and signalling. Myo-Inositol phosphates (InsPs) and pyrophosphates (PP-InsPs) are important second messengers but their analysis remains challenging. Here, the authors develop a capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry method for the identification and quantitation of InsP and PP-InsP isomers in cells and tissues.

Abstract
Sodium/potassium-transporting adenosine triphosphatase (Na+/K+-ATPase) is one of the most abundant cell membrane proteins and is essential for eukaryotes. Endogenous negative regulators have long been postulated to play an important role in regulating the activity and stability of Na+/K+-ATPase, but characterization of these regulators has been elusive. Mechanisms of regulating Na+/K+-ATPase homeostatic turnover are unknown. Here, we report that 5-diphosphoinositol 1,2,3,4,6-pentakisphosphate (5-InsP7), generated by inositol hexakisphosphate kinase 1 (IP6K1), promotes physiological endocytosis and downstream degradation of Na+/K+-ATPase-α1. Deletion of IP6K1 elicits a twofold enrichment of Na+/K+-ATPase-α1 in plasma membranes of multiple tissues and cell types. Using a suite of synthetic chemical biology tools, we found that 5-InsP7 binds the RhoGAP domain of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) p85α to disinhibit its interaction with Na+/K+-ATPase-α1. This recruits adaptor protein 2 (AP2) and triggers the clathrin-mediated endocytosis of Na+/K+-ATPase-α1. Our study identifies 5-InsP7 as an endogenous negative regulator of Na+/K+-ATPase-α1.

Abstract
Inositol and its phosphate metabolites play a pivotal role in several biochemical pathways and gene expression regulation: inositol pyrophosphates (PP-IPs) have been increasingly appreciated as key signaling modulators. Fluctuations in their intracellular levels hugely impact the transfer of phosphates and the phosphorylation status of several target proteins. Pharmacological modulation of the proteins associated with PP-IP activities has proved to be beneficial in various pathological settings. IP7 has been extensively studied and found to play a key role in pathways associated with PP-IP activities. Three inositol hexakisphosphate kinase (IP6K) isoforms regulate IP7 synthesis in mammals. Genomic deletion or enzymic inhibition of IP6K1 has been shown to reduce cell invasiveness and migration capacity, protecting against chemical-induced carcinogenesis. IP6K1 could therefore be a useful target in anticancer treatment. Here, we summarize the current understanding that established IP6K1 and the other IP6K isoforms as possible targets for cancer therapy. However, it will be necessary to determine whether pharmacological inhibition of IP6K is safe enough to begin clinical study. The development of safe and selective inhibitors of IP6K isoforms is required to minimize undesirable effects.

Abstract
The inositol pyrophosphates (PP-InsPs) are a ubiquitous group of highly phosphorylated eukaryotic messengers. They have been linked to a panoply of central cellular processes, but a detailed understanding of the discrete signaling events is lacking in most cases. To create a more mechanistic picture of PP-InsP signaling, we sought to annotate the mammalian interactome of the most abundant inositol pyrophosphate 5PP-InsP5. To do so, triplexed affinity reagents were developed, in which a metabolically stable PP-InsP analog was immobilized in three different ways. Application of these triplexed reagents to mammalian lysates identified between 300 and 400 putative interacting proteins. These interactomes revealed connections between 5PP-InsP5 and central cellular regulators, such as lipid phosphatases, protein kinases, and GTPases, and identified protein domains commonly targeted by 5PP-InsP5. Both the triplexed affinity reagents, and the proteomic datasets, constitute powerful resources for the community, to launch future investigations into the multiple signaling modalities of inositol pyrophosphates.

Abstract
The specific non-invasive control of intracellular signaling events requires advanced tools that enter cells by diffusion and are controllable by light. Here, we detail the synthesis and application of membrane-permeant caged inositol pyrophosphates with respect to cell entry and cell distribution. We recently published the synthesis of these tools as well as their effect on PH-domain localization in HeLa cells and oscillations of the intracellular calcium concentration in β-cells, which are known to drive insulin secretion. In this chapter, we discuss the possibilities and limitations when using cell-penetrating inositol pyrophosphates. We provide a detailed protocol for the application in live mouse β-cells and we discuss the image analysis needed for following effects on calcium signaling.

Abstract
Cells face major changes in demand for and supply of inorganic phosphate (Pi). Pi is often a limiting nutrient in the environment, particularly for plants and microorganisms. At the same time, the need for phosphate varies, establishing conflicts of goals. Cells experience strong peaks of Pi demand, e.g., during the S-phase, when DNA, a highly abundant and phosphate-rich compound, is duplicated. While cells must satisfy these Pi demands, they must safeguard themselves against an excess of Pi in the cytosol. This is necessary because Pi is a product of all nucleotide-hydrolyzing reactions. An accumulation of Pi shifts the equilibria of these reactions and reduces the free energy that they can provide to drive endergonic metabolic reactions. Thus, while Pi starvation may simply retard growth and division, an elevated cytosolic Pi concentration is potentially dangerous for cells because it might stall metabolism. Accordingly, the consequences of perturbed cellular Pi homeostasis are severe. In eukaryotes, they range from lethality in microorganisms such as yeast (Sethuraman et al., 2001; Hürlimann, 2009), severe growth retardation and dwarfism in plants (Puga et al., 2014; Liu et al., 2015; Wild et al., 2016) to neurodegeneration or renal Fanconi syndrome in humans (Legati et al., 2015; Ansermet et al., 2017). Intracellular Pi homeostasis is thus not only a fundamental topic of cell biology but also of growing interest for medicine and agriculture.

Abstract
Inositol pyrophosphates constitute a family of hyperphosphorylated signaling molecules involved in the regulation of glucose uptake and insulin sensitivity. While our understanding of the biological roles of inositol heptaphosphates (PP-InsP5) has greatly improved, the functions of the inositol octaphosphates ((PP)2-InsP4) have remained unclear. Here we present the synthesis of two enantiomeric cell-permeant and photocaged (PP)2-InsP4 derivatives and apply them to study the functions in living β-cells. Photorelease of the naturally occurring isomer 1,5-(PP)2-InsP4 led to an immediate and concentration-dependent reduction of intracellular calcium oscillations, while other caged inositol pyrophosphates (3,5-(PP)2-InsP4, 5-PP-InsP5, 1-PP-InsP5, 3-PP-InsP5) showed no immediate effect. Furthermore, uncaging of 1,5-(PP)2-InsP4 but not 3,5-(PP)2-InsP4 induced translocation of the C2AB domain of granuphilin from the plasma membrane to the cytosol. Granuphilin is involved in membrane docking of secretory vesicles. This suggests that 1,5-(PP)2-InsP4 impacts β-cell activity by regulating granule localization and/or priming and calcium signaling in concert.

Abstract
Inositol pyrophosphates (PP-IPs) such as 5-diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate (5-IP7) are inositol metabolites containing high-energy phosphoanhydride bonds. Biosynthesis of PP-IPs is mediated by IP6 kinases (IP6Ks) and PPIP5 kinases (PPIP5Ks), which transfer phosphate to inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6). Pleiotropic actions of PP-IPs are involved in many key biological processes, including growth, vesicular remodeling, and energy homeostasis. PP-IPs function to regulate their target proteins through allosteric interactions or protein pyrophosphorylation. This review summarizes the current understanding of how PP-IPs control mammalian cellular signaling networks in physiology and disease.

Abstract
Saccharomyces cerevisiae adapts to oxidative, osmotic stress and nutrient deprivation through transcriptional changes, decreased proliferation, and entry into other developmental pathways such as pseudohyphal formation and sporulation. Inositol pyrophosphates are necessary for these cellular responses. Inositol pyrophosphates are molecules composed of the phosphorylated myo-inositol ring that carries one or more diphosphates. Mutations in the enzymes that metabolize these molecules lead to altered patterns of stress resistance, altered morphology, and defective sporulation. Mechanisms to alter the synthesis of inositol pyrophosphates have been recently described, including inhibition of enzyme activity by oxidation and by phosphorylation. Cells with increased levels of 5-diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate have increased nuclear localization of Msn2 and Gln3. The altered localization of these factors is consistent with the partially induced environmental stress response and increased expression of genes under the control of Msn2/4 and Gln3. Other transcription factors may also exhibit increased nuclear localization based on increased expression of their target genes. These transcription factors are each regulated by TORC1, suggesting that TORC1 may be inhibited by inositol pyrophosphates. Inositol pyrophosphates affect stress responses in other fungi (Aspergillus nidulans, Ustilago maydis, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, and Cryptococcus neoformans), in human and mouse, and in plants, suggesting common mechanisms and possible novel drug development targets.

Abstract
Nutritional security is of vital importance for combating malnutrition and catering to increasing energy demands. Phytic acid is considered an anti-nutrient, which sequesters important metal ions, limiting their bioavailability. The lpa mutants of maize contain reduced phytate, thus increase its nutritive value. But low phytate is accompanied by negative pleiotropic effects. This article discusses the importance of lpa2 gene amongst available options, for precise DNA editing to simultaneously improve nutrition and avoid pleiotropic effects.

Abstract
The coordination of synaptic vesicle exocytosis and endocytosis supports neurotransmitter release from presynaptic terminals. Although inositol pyrophosphates, such as 5-diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate (5-IP7), are versatile signaling metabolites in many biological events, physiological actions of 5-IP7 on synaptic membrane vesicle trafficking remain unclear. Here, we investigated the role of 5-IP7 in synaptic transmission in hippocampal brain slices from inositol hexakisphosphate kinase 1 (Ip6k1)-knockout mice. We found that presynaptic release probability was significantly increased in Ip6k1-knockout neurons, implying enhanced activity-dependent synaptic vesicle exocytosis. Expression of wild-type but not catalytically inactive IP6K1 in the Ip6k1-knockout hippocampus restored the altered presynaptic release probability. Moreover, Ip6k1-knockout neurons were insensitive to folimycin, a vacuolar ATPase inhibitor, and dynasore, a dynamin inhibitor, suggesting marked impairment in synaptic endocytosis during exocytosis. Our findings collectively establish that IP6K1 and its product, 5-IP7, act as key physiological determinants for inhibition of presynaptic vesicle exocytosis and stimulation of endocytosis at central synapses. Excitatory synaptic vesicle release is increased in Ip6k1-KO hippocampal neurons Wild-type IP6K1 restores presynaptic functions and plasticity of KO neurons Catalytically inactive mutant IP6K1 fails to rescue defective presynaptic release Synaptic endocytosis during exocytosis is severely impaired in Ip6k1-KO neurons

Abstract
In mammals, a family of three inositol hexakisphosphate kinases (IP6Ks) synthesizes the inositol pyrophosphate 5-IP7 from IP6. Genetic deletion of Ip6k1 protects mice from high fat diet induced obesity, insulin resistance and fatty liver. IP6K1 generated 5-IP7 promotes insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells, whereas it reduces insulin signaling in metabolic tissues by inhibiting the protein kinase Akt. Thus, IP6K1 promotes high fat diet induced hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance in mice while its deletion has the opposite effects. IP6K1 also promotes fat accumulation in the adipose tissue by inhibiting the protein kinase AMPK mediated energy expenditure. Genetic deletion of Ip6k3 protects mice from age induced fat accumulation and insulin resistance. Accordingly, the pan IP6K inhibitor TNP [N2-(m-trifluorobenzyl), N6-(p-nitrobenzyl)purine] ameliorates obesity, insulin resistance and fatty liver in diet induced obese mice by improving Akt and AMPK mediated insulin sensitivity and energy expenditure. TNP also protects mice from bone loss, myocardial infarction and ischemia reperfusion injury. Thus, the IP6K pathway is a potential target in obesity and other metabolic diseases. Here, we summarize the studies that established IP6Ks as a potential target in metabolic diseases. Further studies will reveal whether inhibition of this pathway has similar pleiotropic benefits on metabolic health of humans.

Abstract
Inositol pyrophosphates (PP-InsPs) are an emerging class of "high-energy" intracellular signaling molecules, containing one or two diphosphate groups attached to an inositol ring, that are connected with phosphate sensing, jasmonate signaling, and inositol hexakisphosphate (InsP6) storage in plants. While information regarding this new class of signaling molecules in plants is scarce, the enzymes responsible for their synthesis have recently been elucidated. This review focuses on InsP6 synthesis and its conversion into PP-InsPs, containing seven and eight phosphate groups (InsP7 and InsP8). These steps involve two types of enzymes: the ITPKs that phosphorylate InsP6 to InsP7, and the PPIP5Ks that phosphorylate InsP7 to InsP8. This review also considers the potential roles of PP-InsPs in plant hormone and inorganic phosphate (Pi) signaling, along with an emerging role in bioenergetic homeostasis. PP-InsP synthesis and signaling are important for plant breeders to consider when developing strategies that reduce InsP6 in plants, as this will likely also reduce PP-InsPs. Thus, this review is primarily intended to bridge the gap between the basic science aspects of PP-InsP synthesis/signaling and breeding/engineering strategies to fortify foods by reducing InsP6.

Abstract
Inositol is the precursor for all inositol compounds and is essential for viability of eukaryotic cells. Numerous cellular processes and signaling functions are dependent on inositol compounds, and perturbation of their synthesis leads to a wide range of human diseases. Although considerable research has been directed at understanding the function of inositol compounds, especially phosphoinositides and inositol phosphates, a focus on regulatory and homeostatic mechanisms controlling inositol biosynthesis has been largely neglected. Consequently, little is known about how synthesis of inositol is regulated in human cells. Identifying physiological regulators of inositol synthesis and elucidating the molecular mechanisms that regulate inositol synthesis will contribute fundamental insight into cellular processes that are mediated by inositol compounds and will provide a foundation to understand numerous disease processes that result from perturbation of inositol homeostasis. In addition, elucidating the mechanisms of action of inositol-depleting drugs may suggest new strategies for the design of second-generation pharmaceuticals to treat psychiatric disorders and other illnesses.

Abstract
The environmental stress response (ESR) is critical for cell survival. Yeast cells unable to synthesize inositol pyrophosphates (PP-InsPs) are unable to induce the ESR. We recently discovered a diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate (PP-InsP5) phosphatase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae encoded by SIW14 Yeast strains deleted for SIW14 have increased levels of PP-InsPs. We hypothesized that strains with high inositol pyrophosphate levels will have an increased stress response. We examined the response of the siw14Δ mutant to heat shock, nutrient limitation, osmotic stress, and oxidative treatment using cell growth assays and found increased resistance to each. Transcriptional responses to oxidative and osmotic stresses were assessed using microarray and reverse transcriptase quantitative PCR. The ESR was partially induced in the siw14Δ mutant strain, consistent with the increased stress resistance, and the mutant strain further induced the ESR in response to oxidative and osmotic stresses. The levels of PP-InsPs increased in WT cells under oxidative stress but not under hyperosmotic stress, and they were high and unchanging in the mutant. Phosphatase activity of Siw14 was inhibited by oxidation that was reversible. To determine how altered PP-InsP levels affect the ESR, we performed epistasis experiments with mutations in rpd3 and msn2/4 combined with siw14Δ. We show that mutations in msn2Δ and msn4Δ, but not rpd3, are epistatic to siw14Δ by assessing growth under oxidative stress conditions and expression of CTT1 Msn2-GFP nuclear localization was increased in the siw14Δ. These data support a model in which the modulation of PP-InsPs influence the ESR through general stress response transcription factors Msn2/4.

Abstract
The phosphate starvation response (PHR) protein family exhibits the MYB and coiled-coil domains. In plants, within the either 5' untranslated regions (UTRs) or promoter regions of phosphate starvation-induced (PSI) genes are characteristic cis-regulatory elements, namely PHR1 binding sequence (P1BS). The most widely studied PHR protein family members, such as AtPHR1 in Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) and OsPHR2 in Oryza sativa (L.), may activate the gene expression of a broad range of PSI genes by binding to such elements in a phosphate (Pi) dependent manner. In Pi signaling, PHR transcription factors (TFs) can be selectively activated or deactivated by other proteins to execute the final step of signal transduction. Several new proteins have been associated with the AtPHR1/OsPHR2 signaling cascade in the last few years. While the PHR TF transcriptional role has been studied intensively, here we highlight the recent findings of upstream molecular components and other signaling pathways that may interfere with the PHR final mode of action in plants. Detailed information about transcriptional regulation of the AtPHR1 gene itself and its upstream molecular events has been reviewed.

Abstract
The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has given us much information on the metabolism and function of inositol polyphosphates and inorganic polyphosphate. To expand our knowledge of the metabolic as well as functional connections between inositol polyphosphates and inorganic polyphosphate, we have refined and developed techniques to extract and analyze these molecules in a second eukaryotic experimental model, the amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum. This amoeba, possessing a well-defined developmental program, is ideal to study physiological changes in the levels of inositol polyphosphates and inorganic polyphosphate, since levels of both molecules increase at late stages of development. We detail here the methods used to extract inositol polyphosphates using perchloric acid and inorganic polyphosphate using acidic phenol. We also present the postextraction procedures to visualize and quantify these molecules by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and by malachite green assay.

Abstract
The E3 ligase activity of Cullin RING Ligases (CRLs) is controlled by cycles of neddylation/deneddylation and intimately regulated by the deneddylase COP9 Signalosome (CSN), one of the proteasome lid-CSN-initiation factor 3 (PCI) domain-containing “Zomes” complex. Besides catalyzing the removal of stimulatory Cullin neddylation, CSN also provides a docking platform for other proteins that might play a role in regulating CRLs, notably protein kinases and deubiquitinases. During the CRL activity cycle, CRL–CSN complexes are dynamically assembled and disassembled. Mechanisms underlying complex dynamics remain incompletely understood. Recently, the inositol polyphosphate metabolites (IP6, IP7) and their metabolic enzymes (IP5K, IP6K) have been discovered to participate in CRL–CSN complex formation as well as stimulus-dependent dissociation. Here we discuss these mechanistic insights in light of recent advances in elucidating structural basis of CRL–CSN complexes.

Abstract
Phosphorous-containing molecules are essential constituents of all living cells. While the phosphate functional group is very common in small molecule natural products, nucleic acids, and as chemical modification in protein and peptides, phosphorous can form P⁻N (phosphoramidate), P⁻S (phosphorothioate), and P⁻C (e.g., phosphonate and phosphinate) linkages. While rare, these moieties play critical roles in many processes and in all forms of life. In this review we thoroughly categorize P⁻N, P⁻S, and P⁻C natural organophosphorus compounds. Information on biological source, biological activity, and biosynthesis is included, if known. This review also summarizes the role of phosphorylation on unusual amino acids in proteins (N- and S-phosphorylation) and reviews the natural phosphorothioate (P⁻S) and phosphoramidate (P⁻N) modifications of DNA and nucleotides with an emphasis on their role in the metabolism of the cell. We challenge the commonly held notion that nonphosphate organophosphorus functional groups are an oddity of biochemistry, with no central role in the metabolism of the cell. We postulate that the extent of utilization of some phosphorus groups by life, especially those containing P⁻N bonds, is likely severely underestimated and has been largely overlooked, mainly due to the technological limitations in their detection and analysis.

Abstract
β-Cells respond directly to the intracellular photochemical release of caged inositol pyrophosphate isomers with modulations of oscillations in cytosolic Ca2+.
Among many cellular functions, inositol pyrophosphates (PP-InsPs) are metabolic messengers involved in the regulation of glucose uptake, insulin sensitivity, and weight gain. However, their mechanisms of action are still poorly understood. So far, the influence of PP-InsPs on cellular metabolism has been studied by overexpression or knockout/inhibition of relevant metabolizing kinases (IP6Ks, PPIP5Ks). These approaches are, inter alia, limited by time-resolution and potential compensation mechanisms. Here, we describe the synthesis of cell-permeant caged PP-InsPs as tools to rapidly modulate intracellular levels of defined isomers of PP-InsPs in a genetically non-perturbed cellular environment. We show that caged prometabolites readily enter live cells where they are enzymatically converted into still inactive, metabolically stable, photocaged PP-InsPs. Upon light-triggered release of 5-PP-InsP5, the major cellular inositol pyrophosphate, oscillations of intracellular Ca2+ levels in MIN6 cells were transiently reduced to spontaneously recover again. In contrast, uncaging of 1-PP-InsP5, a minor cellular isomer, was without effect. These results provide evidence that PP-InsPs play an active role in regulating [Ca2+]i oscillations, a key element in triggering exocytosis and secretion in β-cells.

Abstract
An important step in elucidating the function of protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) is gaining access to site-specifically modified, homogeneous samples for biochemical characterization. Protein pyrophosphorylation is a poorly characterized PTM, and here a chemical approach to obtain pyrophosphoproteins is reported. Photo-labile phosphorimidazolide reagents were developed for selective pyrophosphorylation, affinity-capture, and release of pyrophosphoproteins. Kinetic analysis of the reaction revealed rate constants between 9.2 × 10-3 to 0.58 M-1 s-1, as well as a striking proclivity of the phosphorimidazolides to preferentially react with phosphate monoesters over other nucleophilic side chains. Besides enabling the characterization of pyrophosphorylation on protein function, this work highlights the utility of phosphoryl groups as handles for selective protein modification for a variety of applications, such as phosphoprotein bioconjugation and enrichment.

Abstract
Inositol pyrophosphates (IPPs) are present in organisms ranging from plants, slime moulds and fungi to mammals. Distinct classes of kinases generate different forms of energetic diphosphate-containing IPPs from inositol phosphates (IPs). Conversely, polyphosphate phosphohydrolase enzymes dephosphorylate IPPs to regenerate the respective IPs. IPPs and/or their metabolizing enzymes regulate various cell biological processes by modulating many proteins via diverse mechanisms. In the last decade, extensive research has been conducted in mammalian systems, particularly in knockout mouse models of relevant enzymes. Results obtained from these studies suggest impacts of the IPP pathway on organ development, especially of brain and testis. Conversely, deletion of specific enzymes in the pathway protects mice from various diseases such as diet-induced obesity (DIO), type-2 diabetes (T2D), fatty liver, bacterial infection, thromboembolism, cancer metastasis and aging. Furthermore, pharmacological inhibition of the same class of enzymes in mice validates the therapeutic importance of this pathway in cardio-metabolic diseases. This review critically analyses these findings and summarizes the significance of the IPP pathway in mammalian health and diseases. It also evaluates benefits and risks of targeting this pathway in disease therapies. Finally, future directions of mammalian IPP research are discussed.

Abstract
Programed cell death or apoptosis is a key developmental process that maintains tissue homeostasis in multicellular organisms. Inositol polyphosphates (InsPs) are key signaling molecules known to regulate a variety of cellular processes including apoptosis in such organisms. The signaling role of InsPs in unicellular organisms such as Dictyostelium discoideum (D. discoideum) is not well understood. We investigated whether InsPs also play any role in apoptosis in D. discoideum and whether InsPs-mediated apoptosis follows a mechanism similar to that present in higher multicellular eukaryotes. We measured known apoptotic markers in response to exogenously administered InsP6, the major InsPs in the cell. We found that InsP6 was able to cause cell death in D. discoideum cell culture in a dose- and time-dependent manner as determined by cytotoxicity assays. Fluorescence staining with acridine orange/ethidium bromide and flow cytometry results confirmed that the cell death in D. discoideum by InsP6 was due to apoptotic changes. Poly(ADP-ribose) expression, a known apoptotic marker used in D. discoideum, was also increased following InsP6 treatment suggesting a role for InsP6-mediated apoptosis in this organism. InsP6-mediated cell death was accompanied by production of reactive oxygen species and a decrease in mitochondrial membrane potential. Additionally, we studied the effects of InsP6 on the developmental life cycle of D. discoideum, the process likely affected by apoptosis. In conclusion, our studies provide evidence that InsP6-mediated cell death process is conserved in D. discoideum and plays an important signaling role in its developmental life cycle.

Abstract
Over the past fifty years, society has become aware of the importance of a healthy diet in terms of human fitness and longevity. More recently, the concept of the beneficial effects of certain components of our diet and other compounds, that are consumed often by different cultures in various parts of the world, has become apparent. These "healthy" components of our diet are often referred to as nutraceuticals and they can prevent/suppress: aging, bacterial, fungal and viral infections, diabetes, inflammation, metabolic disorders and cardiovascular diseases and have other health-enhancing effects. Moreover, they are now often being investigated because of their anti-cancer properties/potentials. Understanding the effects of various natural products on cancer cells may enhance their usage as anti-proliferative agents which may be beneficial for many health problems. In this manuscript, we discuss and demonstrate how certain nutraceuticals may enhance other anti-cancer drugs to suppress proliferation of cancer cells.

Abstract
We previously identified a series of inositol polyphosphate kinases (IPKs), Arg1, Ipk1, Kcs1 and Asp1, in the opportunistic fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans. Using gene deletion analysis, we characterized Arg1, Ipk1 and Kcs1 and showed that they act sequentially to convert IP3 to PP-IP5 (IP7), a key metabolite promoting stress tolerance, metabolic adaptation and fungal dissemination to the brain. We have now directly characterized the enzymatic activity of Arg1, demonstrating that it is a dual specificity (IP3/IP4) kinase producing IP5. We showed previously that IP5 is further phosphorylated by Ipk1 to produce IP6, which is a substrate for the synthesis of PP-IP5 by Kcs1. Phenotypic comparison of the arg1Δ and kcs1Δ deletion mutants (both PP-IP5-deficient) reveals that arg1Δ has the most deleterious phenotype: while PP-IP5 is essential for metabolic and stress adaptation in both mutant strains, PP-IP5 is dispensable for virulence-associated functions such as capsule production, cell wall organization, and normal N-linked mannosylation of the virulence factor, phospholipase B1, as these phenotypes were defective only in arg1Δ. The more deleterious arg1Δ phenotype correlated with a higher rate of arg1Δ phagocytosis by human peripheral blood monocytes and rapid arg1Δ clearance from lung in a mouse model. This observation is in contrast to kcs1Δ, which we previously reported establishes a chronic, confined lung infection. In summary, we show that Arg1 is the most crucial IPK for cryptococcal virulence, conveying PP-IP5-dependent and novel PP-IP5-independent functions.

Abstract
Chemotherapeutic drug treatment can result in the emergence of drug-resistant cells. By culturing an interleukin-3 (IL-3)-dependent cell line, FL5.12 cells in the presence of the chemotherapeutic drug doxorubicin, we isolated FL/Doxo cells which are multi-drug resistant. Increased levels of drug efflux were detected in FL/Doxo cells which could be inhibited by the MDR1 inhibitor verapamil but not by the MRP1 inhibitor MK571. The effects of TP53 and MEK1 were examined by infection of FL/Doxo cells with retroviruses encoding either a dominant negative TP-53 gene (FL/Doxo+ TP53 (DN) or a constitutively-activated MEK-1 gene (FL/Doxo + MEK1 (CA). Elevated MDR1 but not MRP1 mRNA transcripts were detected by quantitative RT-PCR in the drug-resistant cells while transcripts encoding anti-apoptotic genes such as: BCL2, BCLXL and MCL1 were observed at higher levels in the drug-sensitive FL5.12 cells. The percentage of cells that were side-population positive was increased in the drug-resistant cells compared to the parental line. Drug-resistance and side-positive population cells have been associated with cancer stem cells (CSC). Our studies suggest mechanisms which could allow the targeting of these molecules to prevent drug-resistance.
