[Peculiarities of metabolism and functions of high-molecular inorganic polyphosphates in yeasts as representatives of lower eukaryotes].
The review presents the recent data demonstrating the important role high-molecular inorganic polyphosphates in regulatory processes in a yeast cell. It has been shown that polyphosphates are localized in different cell compartments, where they are metabolized by a special set of enzymes. The review presents the evidence in favor of the concept of multiple functions of these biopolymers in a cell, as well as the data on the pleiotropic effects of mutations in the genes encoding the enzymes of polyphosphate metabolism.
