We describe a multifunctional inositol polyphosphate kinase/phosphotransferase from Solanum tuberosum, StITPKα (GenBank accession number: EF362784), hereafter called StITPK1. StITPK1 displays inositol 3,4,5,6‐tetrakisphosphate 1‐kinase activity: K m = 27 μM, and V max = 19 nmol min−1 mg−1. The enzyme displays inositol 1,3,4,5,6‐pentakisphosphate 1‐phosphatase activity in the absence of a nucleotide acceptor and inositol 1,3,4,5,6‐pentakisphosphate–ADP phosphotransferase activity in the presence of physiological concentrations of ADP. Additionally, StITPK1 shows inositol phosphate‐inositol phosphate phosphotransferase activity. Homology modelling provides a structural rationale of the catalytic abilities of StITPK1. Inter‐substrate transfer of phosphate groups between inositol phosphates is an evolutionarily conserved function of enzymes of this class.
