inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate 6-kinase activity
Definition
Target type: molecularfunction
Catalysis of the reaction: D-myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate + 2 ATP = D-myo-inositol 1,4,5,6-tetrakisphosphate + 2 ADP + 2 H+. [RHEA:32359]
Inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate 6-kinase (IP6K) activity plays a crucial role in cellular signaling pathways by catalyzing the phosphorylation of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) at the 6-position, generating inositol 1,4,5,6-tetrakisphosphate (IP4). This enzymatic reaction is essential for regulating intracellular calcium levels and various cellular processes, including:
1. **Calcium Signaling:** IP3, a key second messenger, binds to and opens IP3 receptors on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane, releasing calcium into the cytoplasm. IP6K, by producing IP4, contributes to the regulation of IP3 levels and thus the amplitude and duration of calcium signals.
2. **Transcriptional Regulation:** IP4 has been implicated in regulating gene expression by modulating the activity of transcription factors, such as nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) and CREB.
3. **Cell Growth and Proliferation:** IP6K activity has been linked to cell growth and proliferation. It has been shown to promote cell cycle progression and regulate the expression of genes involved in cell growth.
4. **Apoptosis and Cell Death:** IP6K has been implicated in both pro-apoptotic and anti-apoptotic signaling pathways. Its precise role in these pathways may depend on the specific cellular context.
5. **Synaptic Plasticity:** IP6K activity is involved in synaptic plasticity, the ability of synapses to strengthen or weaken in response to activity. It has been shown to regulate the release of neurotransmitters and the formation of new synapses.
6. **Immune Response:** IP6K activity has been associated with the regulation of immune responses. It has been shown to modulate the activation and function of immune cells.
In summary, inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate 6-kinase activity is a critical regulator of cellular signaling pathways. It plays a pivotal role in calcium homeostasis, transcriptional regulation, cell growth and proliferation, apoptosis, synaptic plasticity, and immune responses.'
