    Abstract:
    Inositol pyrophosphates (PP-InsPs) are a sub-family of water soluble inositol phosphates that possess one or more diphosphate groups. PP-InsPs can transfer their β-phosphate group to a phosphorylated Ser residue to generate pyrophosphorylated Ser. This unique post-translational modification occurs on Ser residues that lie in acidic stretches within an intrinsically disordered protein sequence. Serine pyrophosphorylation is dependent on the presence of Mg2+ ions, but does not require an enzyme for catalysis. The mechanisms by which cells regulate PP-InsP-mediated pyrophosphorylation are still unknown. We performed mass spectrometry to identify interactors of IP6K1, an enzyme responsible for the synthesis of the PP-InsP 5-InsP7. Interestingly, IP6K1 interacted with several proteins that are known to undergo 5-InsP7-mediated pyrophosphorylation, including the nucleolar proteins NOLC1, TCOF and UBF1, and AP3B1, the β subunit of the AP3 adaptor protein complex. The IP6K1 interactome also included CK2, a protein kinase that phosphorylates Ser residues prior to pyrophosphorylation. We observe the formation of a protein complex between IP6K1, AP3B1, and the catalytic α-subunit of CK2, and show that disrupting IP6K1 binding to AP3B1 lowers its in vivo pyrophosphorylation. We propose that assembly of a substrate-CK2-IP6K complex would allow for coordinated pre-phosphorylation and pyrophosphorylation of the target serine residue, and provide a mechanism to regulate this enzyme-independent modification.
