Enzymes of inositol pyrophosphate IP7 and IP8 metabolism in fission yeast. The chemical structures of 5-IP7 (at left, with the positions of the myo-inositol ring numbered), 1,5-IP8 (middle), and 1-IP7 (at right) are shown. Fission yeast Asp1 is a bifunctional enzyme composed of an N-terminal IPP kinase domain that converts 5-IP7 to 1,5-IP8 and a C-terminal IPP pyrophosphatase domain that converts 1,5-IP8 back to 5-IP7. Fission yeast Aps1 is an IPP pyrophosphatase that converts 1,5-IP8 to 1-IP7.
