In eukaryotes, poly P is particularly
prominent in fungi, algae and trypanosomatids.
Poly P serves as a phosphate and energy store and regulates
enzymes, chromatin condensation
and translation. Poly P is also involved in bacterial pathogenicity,
survival during stationary phase in
bacteria and yeast, or the adaptation to alkaline and osmotic stress.
In the slime mold <i>Dictyostelium discoideum</i>, poly P regulates
development and predation behaviour, and in humans blood coagulation is
accelerated and fibrinolysis is delayed by poly P.
In our group we study poly P metabolism and functions in eukaryotes and
we work mostly with yeast, filamentous fungi and algae.

The molecule we study is so plain
the inorganic polyphosphate chain

Our group studies a simple molecule: inorganic polyphosphate (poly P).
Poly P is a linear polymer that consists of a variable number of phosphate residues (from three to more than a thousand) that are linked by energy-rich phosphoanhydride bonds. It occurs ubiquitously in all living cells and regulates many molecular and biological processes. Nevertheless, poly P is scarcely studied and little is known about poly P metabolism and its exact molecular functions; especially in eukaryotes. In our group we have developed methods to quantify poly P, to stain and localize poly P and to screen for poly P binding proteins. We are using these tools to investigate poly P metabolism and functions in fungi, plants and algae. However, at the moment our main efforts are devoted to the study of poly P metabolism in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and of poly P in fungal cell walls.
