High-energy inositol pyrophosphates, such as IP(7) (diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate), can directly donate a beta-phosphate to a prephosphorylated serine residue generating pyrophosphorylated proteins. Here, we show that the beta subunit of AP-3, a clathrin-associated protein complex required for HIV-1 release, is a target of IP(7)-mediated pyrophosphorylation. We have identified Kif3A, a motor protein of the kinesin superfamily, as an AP3B1-binding partner and demonstrate that Kif3A, like th ...[more]
