Description1D-Myo-Inositol 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexakisphosphate (phytic acid or IP6) is an intermediate in inositol pyrophosphates biosynthesis pathway. IP6 is one of the most prevalent forms of phosphorylated inositols in the eukaryotic cell. It is a strong chelator of important minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron and zinc. The main function of IP6 in yeast is related to regulation of mRNA export from the nucleus. In plant cells IP6 serves as a storage form of myo-inositol, phosphate and mineral nutrients for utilization during seed germination and seedling growth. [Biocyc PWY-6369 and PWY-6361]

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in inositol trisphosphate 3-kinase activity
Specific function:
Has kinase activity and phosphorylates inositol-1,4,5- trisphosphate (Ins(1,4,5)P3) and inositol-1,3,4,5- tetrakisphosphate (Ins(1,3,4,5)P4). Has low kinase activity towards InsP6. Originally it was proposed that the ARGRI and ARGRIII proteins are more likely to be involved in the control of ARGRII activity
Gene Name:
ARG82
Uniprot ID:
P07250
Molecular weight:
40352.5
Reactions
ATP + 1D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate → ADP + 1D-myo-inositol 1,4,5,6-tetrakisphosphate.
ATP + 1D-myo-inositol 1,4,5,6-tetrakisphosphate → ADP + 1D-myo-inositol 1,3,4,5,6-pentakisphosphate.
General function:
Involved in hydrolase activity
Specific function:
May eliminate potentially toxic dinucleoside polyphosphates during sporulation. Most active against diadenosine 5',5'''-P1,P6-hexaphosphate (Ap6A). Can also hydrolyze diadenosine 5',5'''-P1,P5-pentaphosphate (Ap5A), adenosine 5'-pentaphosphate, and adenosine 5'-tetraphosphate are also substrates, but not diadenosine 5',5'''-P1,P4-tetraphosphate (Ap4A) or other dinucleotides, mononucleotides, nucleotide sugars, or nucleotide alcohols. Also cleaves a beta-phosphate from the diphosphate groups in PP-InsP5 (diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate) and [PP]2-InsP4 (bisdiphosphoinositol tetrakisphosphate)
Gene Name:
DDP1
Uniprot ID:
Q99321
Molecular weight:
21572.30078
Reactions
Diphospho-myo-inositol polyphosphate + H(2)O → myo-inositol polyphosphate + phosphate.
General function:
Involved in inositol trisphosphate 3-kinase activity
Specific function:
Converts inositol hexakisphosphate (InsP6) to diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate (InsP7/PP-InsP5). Involved in phosphate regulation and polyphosphate accumulation. Required for resistance to salt stress, cell wall integrity, vacuole morphogenesis, and telomere maintenance
Gene Name:
KCS1
Uniprot ID:
Q12494
Molecular weight:
119549.0
Reactions
ATP + 1D-myo-inositol hexakisphosphate → ADP + 5-diphospho-1D-myo-inositol (1,2,3,4,6)pentakisphosphate.
ATP + 1D-myo-inositol 1,3,4,5,6-pentakisphosphate → ADP + diphospho-1D-myo-inositol tetrakisphosphate (isomeric configuration unknown).
General function:
Involved in acid phosphatase activity
Specific function:
Bifunctional inositol kinase that catalyzes the formation of diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate (InsP7 or PP- InsP5) and bi-diphosphoinositol tetrakisphosphate (InsP8 or PP2- InsP4). Converts inositolitol hexakisphosphate (InsP6) to InsP7. Also able to convert InsP7 to InsP8. Probably specifically mediates the formation of 4PP-InsP5 and 6PP-InsP5 InsP7 isomers but not of 5PP-IP5 InsP7 isomer. Required for maintaining celllular integrity, normal growth and interactions with the ARP complex. Acts as a regulator of the PHO80-PHO85 cyclin/cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) complex, thereby regulating signaling of phosphate availability. Required for the function of the cortical actin cytoskeleton, possibly by participating in correct F-actin localization and ensuring polarized growth
