Polyphosphate kinases (PPKs) are involved in many metabolic processes; enzymes of the second family (PPK2) are responsible for nucleotide synthesis fuelled by the consumption of inorganic polyphosphate. They catalyse the phosphorylation of nucleotides with various numbers of phosphate residues, such as monophosphates or diphosphates. Hence, these enzymes are promising candidates for cofactor regeneration systems. Besides adenosine 5'-triphosphate, PPK2s also catalyse the synthesis of highly phosphorylated nucleotides in vitro, as shown here for adenosine 5'-tetraphosphate and adenosine 5'-pentaphosphate. These unusually phosphorylated adenosine 5'-polyphosphates add up to 50 % of the whole adenosine nucleotides in the assay. The two new products were chemically synthesised to serve as standards and compared with the two enzymatically produced compounds by high-performance ion chromatography and P NMR analysis. This study shows that PPK2s are highly suitable for biocatalytic synthesis of different phosphorylated nucleotides.

We report a series of Cu(II) and Zn(II) complexes with different ligands containing a dipicolyl unit functionalized with urea groups that may contain or not a phenylboronic acid function. These complexes were designed for the recognition of phosphorylated anions through coordination to the metal ion reinforced by hydrogen bonds involving the anion and NH groups of urea. The complexes were isolated and several adducts with pyrophosphate were characterized using Xray diffraction measurements.

Among numerous proteins containing pairs of regulatory cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) domains, family II pyrophosphatases (CBS-PPases) are unique in that they generally contain an additional DRTGG domain between the CBS domains. Adenine nucleotides bind to the CBS domains in CBS-PPases in a positively cooperative manner, resulting in enzyme inhibition (AMP or ADP) or activation (ATP). Here we show that linear P(1),P(n)-diadenosine 5'-polyphosphates (ApnAs, where n is the number of phosphate residues) bind with nanomolar affinity to DRTGG domain-containing CBS-PPases of Desulfitobacterium hafniense, Clostridium novyi, and Clostridium perfringens and increase their activity up to 30-, 5-, and 7-fold, respectively.

Adenosine 5'-polyphosphates have been identified in vitro, as products of certain enzymatic reactions, and in vivo. Although the biological role of these compounds is not known, there exist highly specific hydrolases that degrade nucleoside 5'-polyphosphates into the corresponding nucleoside 5'-triphosphates. One approach to understanding the mechanism and function of these enzymes is through the use of specifically designed phosphonate analogues.

T4 RNA ligase has been shown to synthesize nucleoside and dinucleoside 5'-polyphosphates by displacement of the AMP from the E-AMP complex with polyphosphates and nucleoside diphosphates and triphosphates. Displacement of the AMP by tripolyphosphate (P3) was concentration dependent, as measured by SDS/PAGE. When the enzyme was incubated in the presence of 0.
