Inositol hexakisphosphate (InsP6 or IP6) is an important signalling molecule in vesicular trafficking, neurotransmission, immune responses, regulation of protein kinases and phosphatases, activation of ion channels, antioxidant functions and anticancer activities. An IP6 probe was synthesised from myo-inositol via a derivatised analogue, which was immobilised through a terminal amino group onto Dynabeads. Systematic analysis of the IP6 interactome has been performed using the IP6 affinity probe using cytosolic extracts from the LIM1215 colonic carcinoma cell line. LC/MS/MS analysis identified 77 proteins or protein complexes that bind to IP6 specifically, including AP-2 complex proteins and β-arrestins as well as a number of novel potential IP6 interacting proteins. Bioinformatic enrichment analysis of the IP6 interactome reinforced the concept that IP6 regulates a number of biological processes including cell cycle and division, signal transduction, intracellular protein transport, vesicle-mediated transport and RNA splicing.

Mechanistic Target of Rapamycin (mTOR) binds the small metabolite inositol hexakisphosphate (IP) as shown in structures of mTOR, however it remains unclear if IP, or any other inositol phosphate species, function as an integral structural element(s) or catalytic regulator(s) of mTOR. Here, we show that multiple, exogenously added inositol phosphate species can enhance the ability of mTOR and mTORC1 to phosphorylate itself and peptide substrates in in vitro kinase reactions, with the higher order phosphorylated species being more potent (IP=IP>IP>>IP). IP increased the V and decreased the apparent K of mTOR for ATP.

The HIV-1 capsid is an irregularly shaped protein complex containing the viral genome and several proteins needed for integration into the host cell genome. Small molecules such as the drug-like compound PF74, and the anionic sugar inositolhexakisphosphate (IP6), are known to impact capsid stability, although the mechanisms through which they do so remain unknown. In this study, we employed atomistic molecular dynamics simulations to study the impact of molecules bound to hexamers at the central pore (IP6) and the FG-binding site (PF74) on the interface between capsid oligomers.

Background: Phytic acid is abundant in plant-based diets and acts as a micronutrient inhibitor for humans and non-ruminant animals. Phytases are enzymes that break down phytic acid, releasing micronutrients and enhancing their bioavailability, particularly iron and zinc. Deficiencies in iron and zinc are significant public health problems, especially among populations with disease-associated malnutrition or those in developing countries consuming phytic acid-rich diets.

HIV-1 capsid proteins (CA) self-assemble into a fullerene-shaped capsid, enabling cellular transport and nuclear entry of the viral genome. A structural switch comprising the Thr-Val-Gly-Gly (TVGG) motif either assumes a disordered coil or a 3 helix conformation to regulate hexamer or pentamer assembly, respectively. The cellular polyanion inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6) binds to a positively charged pore of CA capsomers rich in arginine and lysine residues mediated by electrostatic interactions.

As an oilseed crop, the yield and quality of peanuts are severely constrained by nutrient deficiencies, particularly in calcareous soils in northern China. Maize-peanut intercropping is an effective strategy to enhance mineral nutrient efficiency in peanuts via plant-microbe interaction, but the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we conducted experiments using a Pseudomonas strain (Pse.
