Abstract
Polyphosphate (polyP) mediates a plethora of biological functions. Understanding the polyP-protein interactome will help clarify the mechanisms underpinning these functions. Recent studies demonstrating a strong but noncovalent modification of lysine and histidine repeat proteins by polyP have provided new insights into polyP-protein biochemistry with implications for research and therapeutics.
