title: Inositol phosphates: a remarkably versatile enzyme.
abstract: Ins(3,4,5,6)P(4) is an inhibitor of Ca(2+)-activated Cl(-) channels, but further understanding has been hindered by ignorance of how it is made in cells. It now transpires that one protein with ATP-dependent kinase and phosphatase activities interconverts Ins(3,4,5,6)P(4) and Ins(1,3,4,5,6)P(5), as well as several other inositol polyphosphates.
