Abstract
This review examines the possible role of mitochondria in maintaining calcium and phosphate ion homeostasis and participating in the mineralization of bone, cartilage and other vertebrate hard tissues. The paper builds on the known structural features of mitochondria and the documented observations in these tissues that the organelles contain calcium phosphate granules. Such deposits in mitochondria putatively form to buffer excessively high cytosolic calcium ion concentrations and prevent metabolic deficits and even cell death. While mitochondria protect cytosolic enzyme systems through this buffering capacity, the accumulation of calcium ions by mitochondria promotes the activity of enzymes of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA/Krebs) cycle, increases oxidative phosphorylation and ATP synthesis, and leads to changes in intramitochondrial pH. These pH alterations influence ion solubility and possibly the transitions and composition in the mineral phase structure of the granules. Based on these considerations, mitochondria are proposed to support the mineralization process by providing a mobile store of calcium and phosphate ions, in smaller cluster or larger granule form, while maintaining critical cellular activities. The rise in the mitochondrial calcium level also increases the generation of citrate and other TCA cycle intermediates that contribute to cell function and the development of extracellular mineral. This paper suggests that another key role of the mitochondrion, along with the effects just noted, is to supply phosphate ions, derived from the breakdown of ATP, to endolysosomes and autophagic vesicles originating in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi and at the plasma membrane. These many separate but interdependent mitochondrial functions emphasize the critical importance of this organelle in the cellular control of vertebrate mineralization.

Abstract
The maintenance of phosphate homeostasis serves as a foundation for energy metabolism and signal transduction processes in all living organisms. Inositol pyrophosphates (PP-InsPs), composed of an inositol ring decorated with monophosphate and diphosphate moieties, and inorganic polyphosphate (polyP), chains of orthophosphate residues linked by phosphoanhydride bonds, are energy-rich biomolecules that play critical roles in phosphate homeostasis. There is a complex interplay between these two phosphate-rich molecules, and they share an interdependent relationship with cellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and inorganic phosphate (Pi). In eukaryotes, the enzymes involved in PP-InsP synthesis show some degree of conservation across species, whereas distinct enzymology exists for polyP synthesis among different organisms. In fact, the mechanism of polyP synthesis in metazoans, including mammals, is still unclear. Early studies on PP-InsP and polyP synthesis were conducted in the slime mould Dictyostelium discoideum, but it is in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae that a clear understanding of the interplay between polyP, PP-InsPs, and Pi homeostasis has now been established. Recent research has shed more light on the influence of PP-InsPs on polyP in mammals, and the regulation of both these molecules by cellular ATP and Pi levels. In this review we will discuss the cross-talk between PP-InsPs, polyP, ATP, and Pi in the context of budding yeast, slime mould, and mammals. We will also highlight the similarities and differences in the relationship between these phosphate-rich biomolecules among this group of organisms.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT Kidneys are gatekeepers of systemic inorganic phosphate balance because they control urinary phosphate excretion. In yeast and plants, inositol hexakisphosphate kinases (IP6Ks) are central to regulate phosphate metabolism, whereas their role in mammalian phosphate homeostasis is mostly unknown. We demonstrate in a renal cell line and in mice that Ip6k1 and Ip6k2 are critical for normal expression and function of the major renal Na + /Pi transporters NaPi-IIa and NaPi-IIc. Moreover, Ip6k1/2-/- mice also show symptoms of more generalized kidney dysfunction. Thus, our results suggest that IP6Ks are essential for phosphate metabolism and proper kidney function in mammals. BACKGROUND Inorganic phosphate is an essential mineral, and its plasma levels are tightly regulated. In mammals, kidneys are critical for maintaining phosphate homeostasis through mechanisms that ultimately regulate the expression of the Na + /Pi cotransporters NaPi-IIa and NaPi-IIc in proximal tubules. Inositol pyrophosphate 5-IP 7 , generated by IP6Ks, is a main regulator of phosphate metabolism in yeast and plants. IP6Ks are conserved in mammals, but their role in phosphate metabolism in vivo remains unexplored. METHODS We used in vitro (opossum kidney cells) and in vivo (renal tubular-specific Ip6k1/2-/- mice) models to analyze the role of IP6K1/2 in phosphate homeostasis in mammals. RESULTS In both systems, Ip6k1 and Ip6k2 are responsible for synthesis of 5-IP 7 . Depletion of Ip6k1/2 in vitro reduced phosphate transport and mRNA expression of Na + /Pi cotransporters, and it blunts phosphate transport adaptation to changes in ambient phosphate. Renal ablation of both kinases in mice also downregulates the expression of NaPi-IIa and NaPi-IIc and lowered the uptake of phosphate into proximal renal brush border membranes. In addition, the absence of Ip6k1 and Ip6k2 reduced the plasma concentration of fibroblast growth factor 23 and increased bone resorption, despite of which homozygous males develop hypophosphatemia. Ip6k1/2-/- mice also show increased diuresis, albuminuria, and hypercalciuria, although the morphology of glomeruli and proximal brush border membrane seemed unaffected. CONCLUSIONS Depletion of renal Ip6k1/2 in mice not only altered phosphate homeostasis but also dysregulated other kidney functions.

Abstract
Primary familial brain calcification (PFBC) is characterized by calcium deposition in the brain, causing progressive movement disorders, psychiatric symptoms, and cognitive decline. PFBC is a heterogeneous disorder currently linked to variants in six different genes, but most patients remain genetically undiagnosed. Here, we identify biallelic NAA60 variants in ten individuals from seven families with autosomal recessive PFBC. The NAA60 variants lead to loss-of-function with lack of protein N-terminal (Nt)-acetylation activity. We show that the phosphate importer SLC20A2 is a substrate of NAA60 in vitro. In cells, loss of NAA60 caused reduced surface levels of SLC20A2 and a reduction in extracellular phosphate uptake. This study establishes NAA60 as a causal gene for PFBC, provides a possible biochemical explanation of its disease-causing mechanisms and underscores NAA60-mediated Nt-acetylation of transmembrane proteins as a fundamental process for healthy neurobiological functioning.

Abstract
The inositol pyrophosphates (PP-IPs) are specialized members of the wider inositol phosphate signaling family that possess functionally significant diphosphate groups. The PP-IPs exhibit remarkable functionally versatility throughout the eukaryotic kingdoms. However, a quantitatively minor PP-IP - 1,5 bisdiphosphoinositol tetrakisphosphate (1,5-IP8) - has received considerably less attention from the cell signalling community. The main purpose of this review is to summarize recently-published data which have now brought 1,5-IP8 into the spotlight, by expanding insight into the molecular mechanisms by which this polyphosphate regulates many fundamental biological processes.

Abstract
Phosphate (Pi) is a macronutrient, and Pi homeostasis is essential for life. Pi homeostasis has been intensively studied; however, many questions remain, even at the cellular level. Using Schizosaccharomyces pombe, we sought to better understand cellular Pi homeostasis and showed that three Pi regulators with SPX domains, Xpr1/Spx2, Pqr1, and the VTC complex synergistically contribute to Pi homeostasis to support cell proliferation and survival. SPX domains bind to inositol pyrophosphate and modulate activities of Pi-related proteins. Xpr1 is a plasma membrane protein and its Pi-exporting activity has been demonstrated in metazoan orthologs, but not in fungi. We first found that S. pombe Xpr1 is a Pi exporter, activity of which is regulated and accelerated in the mutants of Pqr1 and the VTC complex. Pqr1 is the ubiquitin ligase downregulating the Pi importers, Pho84 and Pho842. The VTC complex synthesizes polyphosphate in vacuoles. Triple deletion of Xpr1, Pqr1, and Vtc4, the catalytic core of the VTC complex, was nearly lethal in normal medium but survivable at lower [Pi]. All double-deletion mutants of the three genes were viable at normal Pi, but Δpqr1Δxpr1 showed severe viability loss at high [Pi], accompanied by hyper-elevation of cellular total Pi and free Pi. This study suggests that the three cellular processes, restriction of Pi uptake, Pi export, and polyP synthesis, contribute synergistically to cell proliferation through maintenance of Pi homeostasis, leading to the hypothesis that cooperation between Pqr1, Xpr1, and the VTC complex protects the cytoplasm and/or the nucleus from lethal elevation of free Pi.

Abstract
Calcification of the cerebral microvessels in the basal ganglia in the absence of systemic calcium and phosphate imbalance is a hallmark of primary familial brain calcification (PFBC), a rare neurodegenerative disorder. Mutation in genes encoding for sodium-dependent phosphate transporter 2 (SLC20A2), xenotropic and polytropic retrovirus receptor 1 (XPR1), platelet-derived growth factor B (PDGFB), platelet-derived growth factor receptor beta (PDGFRB), myogenesis regulating glycosidase (MYORG), and junctional adhesion molecule 2 (JAM2) are known to cause PFBC. Loss-of-function mutations in XPR1, the only known inorganic phosphate exporter in metazoans, causing dominantly inherited PFBC was first reported in 2015 but until now no studies in the brain have addressed whether loss of one functional allele leads to pathological alterations in mice, a commonly used organism to model human diseases. Here we show that mice heterozygous for Xpr1 (Xpr1WT/lacZ ) present with reduced inorganic phosphate levels in the cerebrospinal fluid and age- and sex-dependent growth of vascular calcifications in the thalamus. Vascular calcifications are surrounded by vascular basement membrane and are located at arterioles in the smooth muscle layer. Similar to previously characterized PFBC mouse models, vascular calcifications in Xpr1WT/lacZ mice contain bone matrix proteins and are surrounded by reactive astrocytes and microglia. However, microglial activation is not confined to calcified vessels but shows a widespread presence. In addition to vascular calcifications, we observed vessel tortuosity and transmission electron microscopy analysis revealed microangiopathy-endothelial swelling, phenotypic alterations in vascular smooth muscle cells, and thickening of the basement membrane.

Abstract
Copper is a critical element for eukaryotic life involved in numerous cellular functions, including redox balance, but is toxic in excess. Therefore, tight regulation of copper acquisition and homeostasis is essential for cell physiology and survival. Here, we identify a different regulatory mechanism for cellular copper homeostasis that requires the presence of an endogenous retroviral envelope glycoprotein called Refrex1. We show that cells respond to elevated extracellular copper by increasing the expression of Refrex1, which regulates copper acquisition through interaction with the main copper transporter CTR1. Downmodulation of Refrex1 results in intracellular copper accumulation leading to reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and subsequent apoptosis, which is prevented by copper chelator treatment. Our results show that Refrex1 has been co-opted for its ability to regulate copper entry through CTR1 in order to limit copper excess, redox imbalance, and ensuing cell death, strongly suggesting that other endogenous retroviruses may have similar metabolic functions among vertebrates.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Polyphosphate, an inorganic polymer consisting of linearly linked phosphate subunits, is ubiquitously found in living organisms. Functions and regulation of the polymer have been analyzed in plants, bacteria and yeast; however, the roles of polyphosphate in mammals are still emerging. RECENT FINDINGS In contrast to synthetic polyphosphate that has been extensively utilized in ex-vivo studies, natural polyphosphate is complexed with bivalent cations (mostly Ca 2+ ) and regardless of chain length, forms microparticles that are retained on the surface of procoagulant platelets, platelet-derived microparticles and cancer extracellular vesicles. On cell surfaces, these Ca 2+ /polyphosphate aggregates initiate the factor XII-driven contact system, triggering proinflammatory and procoagulant reactions through the kallikrein kinin system and intrinsic pathway of coagulation, respectively. Polyphosphate inhibitors interfere with thrombosis while sparing hemostasis, replicating the effect of factor XII neutralizing agents. Furthermore, polyphosphate binds to platelet factor 4, which has implications for autoimmune thrombotic diseases, such as heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) and vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT), potentially contributing to their pathogenesis. The metabolism and organ-specific distribution of the polymer remain incompletely defined and is the topic of ongoing research. SUMMARY Polyphosphate acts as a procoagulant and proinflammatory mediator. Neutralizing polyphosphate provides well tolerated thromboprotection, mimicking the effects of factor XII deficiency.

Abstract
Many proteins involved in eukaryotic phosphate homeostasis are regulated by SPX domains. In yeast, the vacuolar transporter chaperone (VTC) complex contains two such domains, but mechanistic details of its regulation are not well understood. Here, we show at the atomic level how inositol pyrophosphates interact with SPX domains of subunits Vtc2 and Vtc3 to control the activity of the VTC complex. Vtc2 inhibits the catalytically active VTC subunit Vtc4 by homotypic SPX-SPX interactions via the conserved helix α1 and the previously undescribed helix α7. Binding of inositol pyrophosphates to Vtc2 abrogates this interaction, thus activating the VTC complex. Accordingly, VTC activation is also achieved by site-specific point mutations that disrupt the SPX-SPX interface. Structural data suggest that ligand binding induces reorientation of helix α1 and exposes the modifiable helix α7, which might facilitate its post-translational modification in vivo. The variable composition of these regions within the SPX domain family might contribute to the diversified SPX functions in eukaryotic phosphate homeostasis.

Abstract
This review summarizes the current understanding of the role of plasma membrane transporters in regulating intracellular inorganic phosphate ([Pi]In) in mammals. Pi influx is mediated by SLC34 and SLC20 Na+-Pi cotransporters. In non-epithelial cells other than erythrocytes, Pi influx via SLC20 transporters PiT1 and/or PiT2 is balanced by efflux through XPR1 (xenotropic and polytropic retrovirus receptor 1). Two new pathways for mammalian Pi transport regulation have been described recently: 1) in the presence of adequate Pi, cells continuously internalize and degrade PiT1. Pi starvation causes recycling of PiT1 from early endosomes to the plasma membrane and thereby increases the capacity for Pi influx; and 2) binding of inositol pyrophosphate InsP8 to the SPX domain of XPR1 increases Pi efflux. InsP8 is degraded by a phosphatase that is strongly inhibited by Pi. Therefore, an increase in [Pi]In decreases InsP8 degradation, increases InsP8 binding to SPX, and increases Pi efflux, completing a feedback loop for [Pi]In homeostasis. Published data on [Pi]In by magnetic resonance spectroscopy indicate that the steady state [Pi]In of skeletal muscle, heart, and brain is normally in the range of 1–5 mM, but it is not yet known whether PiT1 recycling or XPR1 activation by InsP8 contributes to Pi homeostasis in these organs. Data on [Pi]In in cultured cells are variable and suggest that some cells can regulate [Pi] better than others, following a change in [Pi]Ex. More measurements of [Pi]In, influx, and efflux are needed to determine how closely, and how rapidly, mammalian [Pi]In is regulated during either hyper- or hypophosphatemia.

Abstract
Primary familial brain calcification (PFBC) is a disorder in which pathologic calcification of the basal ganglia, cerebellum, or other brain regions with bilateral symmetry occurs. Common clinical symptoms include dysarthria, cerebellar symptoms, motor deficits, and cognitive impairment. Genetic factors are an important cause of the disease; however autosomal recessive (AR) inheritance is rare. In 2018, the myogenesis-regulated glycosidase (MYORG) gene was the first to be associated with AR-PFBC. The present case is a 24-year-old woman with AR-PFBC that presented with migraine at the age of 16 years. Symmetrical patchy calcifications were seen in the bilateral cerebellopontine nuclei, thalamus, basal ganglia, and radiocoronal area on computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. AR-PFBC with migraine as the main clinical symptom is rare. Whole-exome sequencing revealed a compound heterozygous mutation in the MYORG gene, one of which has not been previously reported. Our case highlights the pathogenic profile of the MYORG gene, and demonstrates the need for exclusion of calcium deposits in the brain for migraine patients with AR inheritance.

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
Inositol pyrophosphates (PP-InsPs); are a functionally diverse family of eukaryotic molecules that deploy a highly-specialized array of phosphate groups as a combinatorial cell-signaling code. One reductive strategy to derive a molecular-level understanding of the many actions of PP-InsPs is to individually characterize the proteins that bind them. Here, we describe an alternate approach that seeks a single, collective rationalization for PP-InsP binding to an entire group of proteins, i.e., the multiple nucleolar proteins previously reported to bind 5-InsP7 (5-diphospho-inositol-1,2,3,4,6-pentakisphosphate). Quantitative confocal imaging of the outer nucleolar granular region revealed its expansion when cellular 5-InsP7 levels were elevated by either (a) reducing the 5-InsP7 metabolism by a CRISPR-based knockout (KO) of either NUDT3 or PPIP5Ks; or (b), the heterologous expression of wild-type inositol hexakisphosphate kinase, i.e., IP6K2; separate expression of a kinase-dead IP6K2 mutant did not affect granular volume. Conversely, the nucleolar granular region in PPIP5K KO cells shrank back to the wild-type volume upon attenuating 5-InsP7 synthesis using either a pan-IP6K inhibitor or the siRNA-induced knockdown of IP6K1+IP6K2. Significantly, the inner fibrillar volume of the nucleolus was unaffected by 5-InsP7. We posit that 5-InsP7 acts as an 'electrostatic glue' that binds together positively charged surfaces on separate proteins, overcoming mutual protein-protein electrostatic repulsion the latter phenomenon is a known requirement for the assembly of a non-membranous biomolecular condensate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Phosphorus commonly reduces lipid deposition in the vertebrates. However, the underlying mechanisms involved in the process remain unclear. METHODS Yellow catfish were given three experimental diets with dietary phosphate levels of 3.22, 6.47 and 7.99 g Pi kg- 1, respectively, for 8 weeks. The contents of triglyceride, non-esterified free fatty acids, adenosine triphosphate, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, enzymatic activities, mRNA and protein expression were determined in the intestinal tissues. Hematoxylin and eosin, Oil Red O staining, and transmission electron microscope were performed for intestinal tissues. Primary intestinal epithelial cells were isolated from yellow catfish intestine. Western blot analysis, Immunoprecipitation assays, Immunofluorescence staining, and RNA extraction and quantitative real-time PCR were decided. Luciferase reporter assays and electrophoretic mobility shift assay were used to evaluate the function of Sirt3, PPARα and Lcad promoters. RESULTS High dietary phosphate intake activated intestinal phosphate absorption and excretion, and reduced lipid deposition through increasing lipolysis in the intestine. Moreover, phosphate incubation increased the mRNA and protein expression of krüppel like factor 4 (klf4), silent mating-type information regulation 2 homolog 3 (sirt3), peroxisome proliferator activated receptor alpha (pparα) and long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (lcad) in the intestinal epithelial cells (IECs), and klf4 knockdown attenuated the phosphate-induced increase of protein levels of Sirt3, Pparα and Lcad. Further investigation found that Klf4 overexpression increased the activity of sirt3 and pparα promoters, which in turn reduced the acetylation and protein level of Lcad. CONCLUSION Dietary Pi excess induced lipid degradation by the activation of the Klf4-Sirt3/Pparα-Lcad pathway in the intestine and primary IECs. Video Abstract.

Abstract
The water-soluble inositol phosphates (InsPs) represent a functionally diverse group of small-molecule messengers involved in a myriad of cellular processes. Despite their centrality, our understanding of human InsP metabolism is incomplete because the available analytical toolset to characterize and quantify InsPs in complex samples is limited. Here, we have synthesized and applied symmetrically and unsymmetrically 13C-labeled myo-inositol and inositol phosphates. These probes were utilized in combination with nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) and capillary electrophoresis mass spectrometry (CE-MS) to investigate InsP metabolism in human cells. The labeling strategy provided detailed structural information via NMR-down to individual enantiomers-which overcomes a crucial blind spot in the analysis of InsPs. We uncovered a novel branch of InsP dephosphorylation in human cells which is dependent on MINPP1, a phytase-like enzyme contributing to cellular homeostasis. Detailed characterization of MINPP1 activity in vitro and in cells showcased the unique reactivity of this phosphatase. Our results demonstrate that metabolic labeling with stable isotopomers in conjunction with NMR spectroscopy and CE-MS constitutes a powerful tool to annotate InsP networks in a variety of biological contexts.

Abstract
AbstractPrimary familial brain calcification (PFBC) is an inherited neurodegenerative disorder mainly characterized by progressive calcium deposition bilaterally in the brain, accompanied by various symptoms, such as dystonia, ataxia, parkinsonism, dementia, depression, headaches, and epilepsy. Currently, the etiology of PFBC is largely unknown, and no specific prevention or treatment is available. During the past 10 years, six causative genes (SLC20A2, PDGFRB, PDGFB, XPR1, MYORG, and JAM2) have been identified in PFBC. In this review, considering mechanistic studies of these genes at the cellular level and in animals, we summarize the pathogenesis and potential preventive and therapeutic strategies for PFBC patients. Our systematic analysis suggests a classification for PFBC genetic etiology based on several characteristics, provides a summary of the known composition of brain calcification, and identifies some potential therapeutic targets for PFBC.

Abstract
Primary familial brain calcification (PFBC) is characterised by abnormal deposits of calcium phosphate within various regions of the brain that are associated with severe cognitive impairments, psychiatric conditions, and movement disorders. Recent studies in diverse populations have shown a link between mutations in myogenesis-regulating glycosidase (MYORG) and the development of this disease. MYORG is a member of glycoside hydrolase (GH) family 31 (GH31) and, like the other mammalian GH31 enzyme α-glucosidase II, this enzyme is found in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Though presumed to act as an α-glucosidase due to its localization and sequence relatedness to α-glucosidase II, MYORG has never been shown to exhibit catalytic activity. Here, we show that MYORG is an α-galactosidase and present the high-resolution crystal structure of MYORG in complex with substrate and inhibitor. Using these structures, we map detrimental mutations that are associated with MYORG-associated brain calcification and define how these mutations may drive disease progression through loss of enzymatic activity. Finally, we also detail the thermal stabilisation of MYORG afforded by a clinically approved small molecule ligand, opening the possibility of using pharmacological chaperones to enhance the activity of mutant forms of MYORG. MYORG is an enzyme genetically linked to primary familial brain calcification that has historically been presumed to act as an α-glucosidase. This study describes the crystal structure of dimeric MYORG and, surprisingly, reveals it to be an α-galactosidase with restricted specificity.

Abstract
Inositol pyrophosphates (PP-InsPs) constitute a group of highly charged messengers, which regulate central biological processes in health and disease, such as cellular phosphate and general energy homeostasis. Deciphering the molecular mechanisms underlying PP-InsP-mediated signaling remains a challenge due to the unique properties of these molecules, the different modes of action they can access, and a somewhat limited chemical and analytical toolset. Herein, we summarize the most recent mechanistic insights into PP-InsP signaling, which illustrate our progress in connecting mechanism and function of PP-InsPs.

Abstract
Vertebrates harbor hundreds of endogenous retroviral (ERV) sequences in their genomes, which are considered signs of past infections that occurred during evolution. On rare occasions, ERV genes like env are maintained and coopted by hosts for physiological functions, but they also participate in recombination events with exogenous retroviruses to generate rearranged viruses with novel tropisms. In domestic cats, feline leukemia virus type D (FeLV-D) has been described as a recombinant virus between the infectious FeLV-A and likely the ERV-DC14 env gene that resulted in an extended tropism due to the usage of a new uncharacterized retroviral receptor. Here, we report the identification of SLC31A1 encoding the copper transporter 1 (CTR1) as a susceptibility gene for ERV-DC14 infection. Expression of human CTR1 into nonpermissive cells was sufficient to confer sensitivity to ERV-DC14 pseudotype infection and to increase the binding of an ERV-DC14 Env ligand. Moreover, inactivation of CTR1 by genome editing or cell surface downmodulation of CTR1 by a high dose of copper dramatically decreased ERV-DC14 infection and binding, while magnesium treatment had no effect. We also investigated the role of CTR1 in the nonpermissivity of feline and hamster cells. While feline CTR1 was fully functional for ERV-DC14, we found that binding was strongly reduced upon treatment with conditioned medium of feline cells, suggesting that the observed resistance to infection was a consequence of CTR1 saturation. In contrast, hamster CTR1 was inactive due to the presence of a N-linked glycosylation site at position 27, which is absent in the human ortholog. These results provide evidence that CTR1 is a receptor for ERV-DC14. Along with chimpanzee endogenous retrovirus type 2, ERV-DC14 is the second family of endogenous retrovirus known to have used CTR1 during past infections of vertebrates. IMPORTANCE Receptor usage is an important determinant of diseases induced by pathogenic retroviruses. In the case of feline leukemia viruses, three subgroups (A, B, and C) based on their ability to recognize different cell host receptors, respectively, the thiamine transporter THTR1, the phosphate transporter PiT1, and the heme exporter FLVCR1, are associated with distinct feline diseases. FeLV-A is horizontally transmitted and found in all naturally infected cats, while FeLV-B and FeLV-C have emerged from FeLV-A, respectively, by recombination with endogenous retroviral env sequences or by mutations in the FeLV-A env gene, both leading to a switch in receptor usage and in subsequent in vivo tropism. Here, we set up a genetic screen to identify the retroviral receptor of ERV-DC14, a feline endogenous provirus whose env gene has been captured by infectious FeLV-A to give rise to FeLV-D in a process similar to FeLV-B. Our results reveal that the copper transporter CTR1 was such a receptor and provide new insights into the acquisition of an expanded tropism by FeLV-D.

Abstract
Despite advances in precision medicine, the clinical prospects for patients with ovarian and uterine cancers have not substantially improved. Here, we analyzed genome-scale CRISPR/Cas9 loss-of-function screens across 851 human cancer cell lines and found that frequent overexpression of SLC34A2 – encoding a phosphate importer – is correlated to sensitivity to loss of the phosphate exporter XPR1 in vitro and in vivo. In patient-derived tumor samples, we observed frequent PAX8-dependent overexpression of SLC34A2, XPR1 copy number amplifications, and XPR1 mRNA overexpression. Mechanistically, in SLC34A2-high cancer cell lines, genetic or pharmacologic inhibition of XPR1-dependent phosphate efflux leads to the toxic accumulation of intracellular phosphate. Finally, we show that XPR1 requires the novel partner protein KIDINS220 for proper cellular localization and activity, and that disruption of this protein complex results in acidic vacuolar structures preceding cell death. These data point to the XPR1:KIDINS220 complex and phosphate dysregulation as a therapeutic vulnerability in ovarian cancer. Golub and colleagues identify the phosphate exporter XPR1 as a therapeutic vulnerability in ovarian and uterine cancers, and show that phosphate efflux inhibition reduces tumor cell viability through accumulation of intracellular phosphate.

Abstract
Cellular phosphate transporters play critical roles in the pathogenesis of vascular calcification (VC) in chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, the mechanistic link between VC and xenotropic and polytropic receptor 1 (XPR1), a newly identified phosphate exporter, remains unknown. We developed a new mouse model with rapidly progressive uremic VC in C57BL/6 mice and examined the roles of XPR1. The combination of surgical heminephrectomy and 8 weeks of feeding a customized warfarin and adenine-based diet induced extensive aortic VC in almost all mice. The XPR1 mRNA level in the aorta of CKD mice was significantly lower than those in control mice as early as week 2, when there was no apparent VC, which progressively declined thereafter. Dietary phosphate restriction increased XPR1 mRNA expression in the aorta but reduced aortic VC in CKD mice. In cultured vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), a calcifying medium supplemented with high phosphate and calcium did not affect XPR1 mRNA expression. The XPR1 mRNA expression in cultured VCMCs was also unaffected by administration of indoxyl sulfate or calcitriol deficiency but was decreased by 1-34 parathyroid hormone or fibroblast growth factor 23 supplementation. Furthermore, XPR1 deletion in the cultured VSMCs exacerbated calcification of the extracellular matrix as well as the osteogenic phenotypic switch under the condition of calcifying medium. Our data suggest that XPR1 plays protective roles in the pathogenesis of VC and its decrease in the aorta may contribute to the progression of VC in CKD.

Abstract
AIMS Dietary inorganic phosphate (Pi) modulates renal Pi reabsorption by regulating the expression of the NaPi-IIa and NaPi-IIc Pi transporters. Here, we aimed to clarify the role of several Pi-regulatory mechanisms including parathyroid hormone (PTH), fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) and inositol hexakisphosphate kinases (IP6-kinases) in the acute regulation of NaPi-IIa and NaPi-IIc. METHODS Wildtype (WT) and PTH-deficient mice (PTH-KO) with/without inhibition of FGF23 signalling were gavaged with Pi/saline and examined at 1, 4 and 12 h. RESULTS Pi-gavage elevated plasma Pi and decreased plasma Ca2+ in both genotypes after 1 h Within 1 h, Pi-gavage decreased NaPi-IIa abundance in WT and PTH-KO mice. NaPi-IIc was downregulated 1 h post-administration in WT and after 4 h in PTH-KO. PTH increased after 1 h in WT animals. After 4 h Pi-gavage, FGF23 increased in both genotypes being higher in the KO group. PTHrp and dopamine were not altered by Pi-gavage. Blocking FGF23 signalling blunted PTH upregulation in WT mice and reduced NaPi-IIa downregulation in PTH-KO mice 4 h after Pi-gavage. Inhibition of IP6-kinases had no effect. CONCLUSIONS (1) Acute downregulation of renal Pi transporters in response to Pi intake occurs also in the absence of PTH and FGF23 signalling, (2) when FGF23 signalling is blocked, a partial contribution of PTH is revealed, (3) IP6 kinases, intracellular Pi-sensors in yeast and bacteria, are not involved, and (4) Acute Pi does not alter PTHrp and dopamine. Thus, signals other than PTH, PTHrp, FGF23 and dopamine contribute to renal adaption.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer is the fifth most common cause of cancer‐related death in women. Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is a chemotherapy‐resistant epithelial ovarian cancer with poor prognosis. As a basis for the development of therapeutic agents that could improve the prognosis of OCCC, we performed a screen for proteins critical for the tumorigenicity of OCCC using the CRISPR/Cas9 system. Here we show that knockdown of the phosphate exporter XPR1/SLC53A1 induces the growth arrest and apoptosis of OCCC cells in vitro. Moreover, we show that knockdown of XPR1/SLC53A1 inhibits the proliferation of OCCC cells xenografted into immunocompromised mice. These results suggest that XPR1/SLC53A1 plays a critical role in the tumorigenesis of OCCC cells. We speculate that XPR1/SLC53A1 might be a promising molecular target for the therapeutic treatment of OCCC.

Abstract
Vascular calcifications are characterized by the ectopic deposition of calcium and phosphate in the vascular lumen or wall. They are a common finding in computed tomography scans or during autopsy and are often directly related to a pathological condition. While the pathogenesis and functional consequences of vascular calcifications have been intensively studied in some peripheral organs, vascular calcification, and its pathogenesis in the central nervous system is poorly characterized and understood. Here, we review the occurrence of vessel calcifications in the brain in the context of aging and various brain diseases. We discuss the pathomechanism of brain vascular calcification in primary familial brain calcification as an example of brain vessel calcification. A particular focus is the response of microglia to the vessel calcification in the brain and their role in the clearance of calcifications.

Abstract
Soft tissue calcification is a pathological phenomenon that often occurs in end-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD), which is caused by diabetic nephropathy, among other factors. Hyperphosphatemia present during course of CKD contributes to impairments in kidney function, particularly damages in the glomerular filtration barrier (GFB). Essential elements of the GFB include glomerular epithelial cells, called podocytes. In the present study, we found that human immortalized podocytes express messenger RNA and protein of phosphate transporters, including NaPi 2c (SLC34A3), Pit 1 (SLC20A1), and Pit 2 (SLC20A2), which are sodium-dependent and mediate intracellular phosphate (Pi) transport, and XPR1, which is responsible for extracellular Pi transport. We found that cells that were grown in a medium with a high glucose (HG) concentration (30 mM) expressed less Pit 1 and Pit 2 protein than podocytes that were cultured in a standard glucose medium (11 mM). We found that exposure of the analyzed transporters in the cell membrane of the podocyte is altered by HG conditions. We also found that the activity of tissue nonspecific alkaline phosphatase increased in HG, causing a rise in Pi generation. Additionally, HG led to a reduction of the amount of ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1 in the cell membrane of podocytes. The extracellular concentration of pyrophosphate also decreased under HG conditions. These data suggest that a hyperglycemic environment enhances the production of Pi in podocytes and its retention in the extracellular space, which may induce glomerular calcification.

Abstract
Type-III sodium-dependent phosphate transporters 1 and 2 (PiT 1 and PiT 2, respectively) are proteins encoded by SLC20A1 and SLC20A2, respectively. The ubiquitous distribution of SLC20A1 and SLC20A2 mRNAs in mammalian tissues supports the housekeeping maintenance and homeostasis of intracellular inorganic phosphate (Pi), which is absorbed from interstitial fluid for normal cellular functions. SLC20A2 variants have been found in patients with idiopathic basal ganglia calcification (IBGC), also known as Fahr's disease or primary familial brain calcification (PFBC). Thus, disrupted Pi homeostasis is considered one of the major factors in the pathogenic mechanism of IBGC. In this paper, among the causative genes of IBGC, we focused specifically on PiT2, and its potential for a therapeutic target of IBGC.

Abstract
Inositol poly- and pyrophosphates (InsPs and PP-InsPs) are a group of central eukaryotic metabolites and signaling molecules. Due to the diverse cellular functions and widespread diseases InsPs and PP-InsPs are associated with, pharmacological targeting of the kinases involved in their biosynthesis has become a significant research interest in the last decade. In particular, the development of inhibitors for inositol hexakisphosphate kinases (IP6Ks) has leaped forward, while other inositol phosphate kinases have received scant attention. This review summarizes the efforts undertaken so far for discovering potent and selective inhibitors for this diverse group of small molecule kinases. The benefits of pharmacological inhibition are highlighted, given the multiple kinase-independent functions of inositol phosphate kinases. The distinct structural families of InsP and PP-InsP kinases are presented, and we discuss how compound availability for different inositol phosphate kinase families varies drastically. Lead compound discovery and optimization for the inositol kinases would benefit from detailed structural information on the ATP-binding sites of these kinases, as well as reliable biochemical and cellular read-outs to monitor inositol phosphate kinase activity in complex settings. Efforts to further tune well-established inhibitors, while simultaneously reviving tool compound development for the more neglected kinases from this family are indisputably worthwhile, considering the large potential therapeutic benefits.

Abstract
Circulating phosphate levels are tightly controlled within a narrow range in mammals. By using a novel small-molecule inhibitor, we show that the enzymatic activity of inositol hexakisphosphate kinases (IP6K) is essential for phosphate regulation in vivo. IP6K inhibition suppressed XPR1, a phosphate exporter, thereby decreasing cellular phosphate export, which resulted in increased intracellular ATP levels. The in vivo inhibition of IP6K decreased plasma phosphate levels without inhibiting gut intake or kidney reuptake of phosphate, demonstrating a pivotal role of IP6K-regulated cellular phosphate export on circulating phosphate levels. IP6K inhibition-induced decrease in intracellular inositol pyrophosphate, an enzymatic product of IP6K, was correlated with phosphate changes. Chronic IP6K inhibition alleviated hyperphosphataemia, increased kidney ATP, and improved kidney functions in chronic kidney disease rats. Our results demonstrate that the enzymatic activity of IP6K regulates circulating phosphate and intracellular ATP and suggest that IP6K inhibition is a potential novel treatment strategy against hyperphosphataemia. Inositol hexakisphosphate kinase (IP6K) is involved in diverse cellular signalling pathways, but the physiological roles of IP6K in vivo remain unknown in mammals. Here, the authors show that the enzymatic activity of IP6K is essential for phosphate regulation in vivo.

Abstract
Phosphorus, an essential nutrient, performs vital functions in skeletal and non-skeletal tissues and is pivotal for energy production. The last two decades of research on the physiological importance of phosphorus have provided several novel insights about its dynamic nature as a nutrient performing functions as a phosphate ion. Phosphorous also acts as a signaling molecule and induces complex physiological responses. It is recognized that phosphorus homeostasis is critical for health. The intake of phosphorus by the general population world-wide is almost double the amount required to maintain health. This increase is attributed to the incorporation of phosphate containing food additives in processed foods purchased by consumers. Research findings assessed the impact of excessive phosphorus intake on cells' and organs' responses, and highlighted the potential pathogenic consequences. Research also identified a new class of bioactive phosphates composed of polymers of phosphate molecules varying in chain length. These polymers are involved in metabolic responses including hemostasis, brain and bone health, via complex mechanism(s) with positive or negative health effects, depending on their chain length. It is amazing, that phosphorus, a simple element, is capable of exerting multiple and powerful effects. The role of phosphorus and its polymers in the renal and cardiovascular system as well as on brain health appear to be important and promising future research directions.

Abstract
Inositol phosphate encompasses a large multifaceted family of signalling molecules that originate from the combinatorial attachment of phosphate groups to the inositol ring. To date, four distinct inositol kinases have been identified, namely, IPK, ITPK, IPPK (IP5-2K), and PPIP5K. Although, ITPKs have recently been identified in archaea, eukaryotes have taken advantage of these enzymes to create a sophisticated signalling network based on inositol phosphates. However, it remains largely elusive what fundamental biochemical principles control the signalling cascade. Here, we present an evolutionary approach to understand the development of the 'inositol phosphate code' in eukaryotes. Distribution analyses of these four inositol kinase groups throughout the eukaryotic landscape reveal the loss of either ITPK, or of PPIP5K proteins in several species. Surprisingly, the loss of IPPK, an enzyme thought to catalyse the rate limiting step of IP6 (phytic acid) synthesis, was also recorded. Furthermore, this study highlights a noteworthy difference between animal (metazoan) and plant (archaeplastida) lineages. While metazoan appears to have a substantial amplification of IPK enzymes, archaeplastida genomes show a considerable increase in ITPK members. Differential evolution of IPK and ITPK between plant and animal lineage is likely reflective of converging functional adaptation of these two types of inositol kinases. Since, the IPK family comprises three sub-types IPMK, IP6K, and IP3-3K each with dedicated enzymatic specificity in metazoan, we propose that the amplified ITPK group in plant could be classified in sub-types with distinct enzymology.

Abstract
Three physiologically mineralizing tissues - teeth, cartilage and bone - have critical common elements and important evolutionary relationships. Phylogenetically the most ancient densely mineralized tissue is teeth. In jawless fishes without skeletons, tooth formation included epithelial transport of phosphates, a process echoed later in bone physiology. Cartilage and mineralized cartilage are skeletal elements separate from bone, but with metabolic features common to bone. Cartilage mineralization is coordinated with high expression of tissue nonspecific alkaline phosphatase and PHOSPHO1 to harvest available phosphate esters and support mineralization of collagen secreted locally. Mineralization in true bone results from stochastic nucleation of hydroxyapatite crystals within the cross-linked collagen fibrils. Mineral accumulation in dense collagen is, at least in major part, mediated by amorphous aggregates - often called Posner clusters - of calcium and phosphate that are small enough to diffuse into collagen fibrils. Mineral accumulation in membrane vesicles is widely suggested, but does not correlate with a definitive stage of mineralization. Conversely mineral deposition at non-physiologic sites where calcium and phosphate are adequate has been shown to be regulated in large part by pyrophosphate. All of these elements are present in vertebrate bone metabolism. A key biological element of bone formation is an epithelial-like cellular organization which allows control of phosphate, calcium and pH during mineralization.

Abstract
Recently, inositols, especially myo-inositol and inositol hexakisphosphate, also known as phytic acid or IP6, with their biological activities received much attention for their role in multiple health beneficial effects. Although their roles in cancer treatment and prevention have been extensively reported, interestingly, they may also have distinctive properties in energy metabolism and metabolic disorders. We review inositols and inositol phosphate metabolism in mammalian cells to establish their biological activities and highlight their potential roles in energy metabolism. These molecules are known to decrease insulin resistance, increase insulin sensitivity, and have diverse properties with importance from cell signaling to metabolism. Evidence showed that inositol phosphates might enhance the browning of white adipocytes and directly improve insulin sensitivity through adipocytes. In addition, inositol pyrophosphates containing high-energy phosphate bonds are considered in increasing cellular energetics. Despite all recent advances, many aspects of the bioactivity of inositol phosphates are still not clear, especially their effects on insulin resistance and alteration of metabolism, so more research is needed.

Abstract
Inorganic phosphate (Pi) plays a critical function in many tissues of the body: for example, as part of the hydroxyapatite in the skeleton and as a substrate for ATP synthesis. Pi is the main source of dietary phosphorus. Reduced bioavailability of Pi or excessive losses in the urine causes rickets and osteomalacia. While critical for health in normal amounts, dietary phosphorus is plentiful in the Western diet and is often added to foods as a preservative. This abundance of phosphorus may reduce longevity due to metabolic changes and tissue calcifications. In this review, we examine how dietary phosphorus is absorbed in the gut, current knowledge about Pi sensing, and endocrine regulation of Pi levels. Moreover, we also examine the roles of Pi in different tissues, the consequences of low and high dietary phosphorus in these tissues, and the implications for healthy aging.

Abstract
Thymocyte differentiation is dependent on the availability and transport of metabolites in the thymus niche. As expression of metabolite transporters is a rate-limiting step in nutrient utilization, cell surface transporter levels generally reflect the cell's metabolic state. The GLUT1 glucose transporter is upregulated on actively dividing thymocytes, identifying thymocytes with an increased metabolism. However, it is not clear whether transporters of essential elements such as phosphate are modulated during thymocyte differentiation. While PiT1 and PiT2 are both phosphate transporters in the SLC20 family, we show here that they exhibit distinct expression profiles on both murine and human thymocytes. PiT2 expression distinguishes thymocytes with high metabolic activity, identifying immature murine double negative (CD4−CD8−) DN3b and DN4 thymocyte blasts as well as immature single positive (ISP) CD8 thymocytes. Notably, the absence of PiT2 expression on RAG2-deficient thymocytes, blocked at the DN3a stage, strongly suggests that high PiT2 expression is restricted to thymocytes having undergone a productive TCRβ rearrangement at the DN3a/DN3b transition. Similarly, in the human thymus, PiT2 was upregulated on early post-β selection CD4+ISP and TCRαβ−CD4hiDP thymocytes co-expressing the CD71 transferrin receptor, a marker of metabolic activity. In marked contrast, expression of the PiT1 phosphate importer was detected on mature CD3+ murine and human thymocytes. Notably, PiT1 expression on CD3+DN thymocytes was identified as a biomarker of an aging thymus, increasing from 8.4 ± 1.5% to 42.4 ± 9.4% by 1 year of age (p < 0.0001). We identified these cells as TCRγδ and, most significantly, NKT, representing 77 ± 9% of PiT1+DN thymocytes by 1 year of age (p < 0.001). Thus, metabolic activity and thymic aging are associated with distinct expression profiles of the PiT1 and PiT2 phosphate transporters.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Primary familial brain calcification (PFBC) is a rare cerebral microvascular calcifying disorder with diverse neuropsychiatric expression. Five genes were reported as PFBC causative when carrying pathogenic variants. Haploinsufficiency of SLC20A2, which encodes an inorganic phosphate importer, is a major cause of autosomal-dominant PFBC. However, PFBC remains genetically unexplained in a proportion of patients, suggesting the existence of additional genes or cryptic mutations. We analyzed exome sequencing data of 71 unrelated, genetically unexplained PFBC patients with the aim to detect copy number variations that may disrupt the expression of core PFBC-causing genes. METHODS After the identification of a deletion upstream of SLC20A2, we assessed its consequences on gene function by reverse transcriptase droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (RT-ddPCR), an ex vivo inorganic phosphate uptake assay, and introduced the deletion of a putative SLC20A2 enhancer mapping to this region in human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells by clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) - CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9). RESULTS The 8p11.21 deletion, segregating with PFBC in a family, mapped 35 kb upstream of SLC20A2. The deletion carriers/normal controls ratio of relative SLC20A2 mRNA levels was 60.2% (P < 0.001). This was comparable with that of patients carrying an SLC20A2 premature stop codon (63.4%; P < 0.001). The proband exhibited a 39.3% decrease of inorganic phosphate uptake in blood (P = 0.015). In HEK293 cells, we observed a 39.8% decrease in relative SLC20A2 mRNA levels after normalization on DNA copy number (P < 0.001). DISCUSSION We identified a deletion of an enhancer of SLC20A2 expression, with carriers showing haploinsufficiency in similar ranges to loss-of-function alleles, and we observed reduced mRNA levels after deleting this element in a cellular model. We propose a 3-step strategy to identify and easily assess the effect of such events. © 2020 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.
