Proteins responsible for Pi homeostasis are critical for all life. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, extracellular [P-1] is "sensed" by the inositol-hexakisphosphate kinase (IP6K) that synthesizes the intracellular inositol pyrophosphate 5-diphosphoinositol 1,2,3,4,6-pentakisphosphate (5-InsP(7)) as follows: during a period of Pi starvation, there is a decline in cellular [ATP]; the unusually low affinity of IP6Ks for ATP compels 5-InsP(7) levels to fall in parallel (Azevedo, C.,and Saiardi, A. (2017) Trends. Biochem. Sci. 42, 219-231. Hitherto, such P-1 sensing has not been documented in metazoans. Here, using a human intestinal epithelial cell line (HCT116), we show that levels of both 5-InsP(7) and ATP decrease upon [P-1] starvation and subsequently recover during Pi replenishment. However, a separate inositol pyrophosphate, 1,5-bisdiphosphoinositol 2,3,4,6-tetrakisphosphate (InsP(8)), reacts more dramatically (i.e. with a wider dynamic range and greater sensitivity). To understand this novel InsP(8) response, we characterized kinetic properties of the bifunctional 5-InsP(7) kinase/InsP(8) phosphatase activities of full-length diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate kinases (PPIP5Ks). These data fulfil previously published criteria for any bifunctional kinase/phosphatase to exhibit concentration robustness, permitting levels of the kinase product (InsP(8) in this case) to fluctuate independently of varying precursor (i.e. 5-InsP(7)) pool size. Moreover, we report that InsP(8) phosphatase activities of PPIP5Ks are strongly inhibited by P-1 (40-90% within the 0-1 mM range). For PPIP5K2, P-1 sensing by InsP(8) is amplified by a 2-fold activation of 5-InsP(7) kinase activity by P-1 within the 0-5 mM range. Overall, our data reveal mechanisms that can contribute to specificity in inositol pyrophosphate sig-naling, regulating InsP(8) turnover independently of 5-InsP(7), in response to fluctuations in extracellular supply of a key nutrient.
