Popis: This review considers recent data demonstrating an important role of high-molecular-weight inorganic polyphosphates (polyPs) in regulatory processes in yeasts. PolyPs occur in various compartments of the cell and are metabolized by compartment-specific sets of enzymes. Evidence is provided for the multiplicity of polyP functions in the cells. Data on the pleiotropic effects of mutations of genes coding for polyP-metabolizing enzymes are summarized.
