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-IP 8) – 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-IP 8 into the spotlight, by expanding insight into the molecular mechanisms by which this polyphosphate regulates many fundamental biological processes.
