Polyphosphates are linear chains of orthophosphate residues that are present in all living cells. Polyphosphates are released from platelet d-granules and are also produced in bacteria. Polyphosphates are procoagulant in mammalian species and in bacteria are required for energy and phosphate storage, stress resistance, chelation of metal ions and escaping host immunity. Despite these pleiotropic effects, sparse information is available on molecular binding partners of polyphosphates. Here, we used a slide-based human proteome microarray screen for the search of polyphosphate-binding proteins. This approach suggested several novel proteins with relation to the phosphatidylinositol signaling pathway. The highest signals were obtained for Disabled-1 (DAB1) and phosphatidylinositol-5-phosphate 4-kinase 2B (PIP4K2B). Isothermal titration calorimetry was used for confirmation of DAB1 interactions with long-chain polyphosphates. These results offer new rationale to further investigate the interference of polyphosphates with intracellular signaling pathways.
