First synthetic analogues of diphosphoinositol polyphosphates: interaction with PP-InsP5 kinase

Chem Commun (Camb). 2012 Nov 28;48(92):11292-4. doi: 10.1039/c2cc36044f.

Abstract

We synthesised analogues of diphosphoinositol polyphosphates (PP-InsPs) in which the diphosphate is replaced by an α-phosphonoacetic acid (PA) ester. Structural analysis revealed that 5-PA-InsP(5) mimics 5-PP-InsP(5) binding to the kinase domain of PPIP5K2; both molecules were phosphorylated by the enzyme. PA-InsPs are promising candidates for further studies into the biology of PP-InsPs.
