Control of eukaryotic phosphate homeostasis by inositol polyphosphate sensor domains

R Wild, R Gerasimaite, JY Jung, V Truffault, I Pavlovic… - Science, 2016 - science.org
Phosphorus is a macronutrient taken up by cells as inorganic phosphate (Pi). How cells
sense cellular Pi levels is poorly characterized. Here, we report that SPX domains—which …
