Homogeneous glycogen phosphorylase from human leukocytes has been obtained. A one-step bioluminescent procedure for the enzyme activity assay has been developed. This method is based on a continuous recording of the product of the glycogen phosphorylase-catalyzed reaction using a coimmobilized multienzyme system (phosphoglucomutase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, NADH:FMN oxidoreductase and bacterial luciferase). The method sensitivity is 10 times as high compared to earlier described methods. The Km values for glycogen (0.2 mg/ml) and phosphate (3.9 mM) at pH 7.9 were determined. AMP was shown to be the enzyme effector. 相似文献

Escherichia coli B glycogen synthase and branching enzyme, although similar in amino acid composition, had no significant immunological cross-reactivity. The N-terminal sequences of the glycogen synthase were rich in hydrophobic residues, whereas branching enzyme had a higher content of acidic and basic residues. However, residues 21 to 28 of glycogen synthase and 7 to 14 of branching enzyme shared six of eight residues in common. Two fractions of branching enzyme, branching enzymes I and II, which can be isolated from E. coli B cell extracts, have been shown to be immunologically identical, suggesting that only one type of branching enzyme activity is present in E. coli B. Evidence has been obtained which indicates that E. coli B glycogen synthase and branching enzyme are antigenically very similar to glycogen synthases and branching enzymes from other enteric bacteria. No cross-reactivity with either enzyme was observed in cell extracts from photosynthetic bacteria. 相似文献

Kinetics of glycogen binding by glycogen phosphorylase b has been studied by stopped flow and temperature jump methods. This reaction is followed by increase in light scattering whose amplitude depends upon the enzyme binding sites concentration of glycogen particles occupied by the enzyme. It has been shown that the complex formation has the first order with respect to enzyme and glycogen concentrations. Relaxation kinetics is compatible with proposed bimolecular reaction scheme. Microscopic rate constants of the forward and reverse reactions of glycogen binding by glycogen phosphorylase b are determined in temperature range from 12,7 to 30 degrees C. The possibility of diffusional control of the binding rate is discussed. 相似文献

One function of sleep is thought to be the restoration of energy stores in the brain depleted during wakefulness. One such energy store found in mammalian brains is glycogen. Many of the genes involved in glycogen regulation in mammals have also been found in Drosophila melanogaster and rest behavior in Drosophila has recently been shown to have the characteristics of sleep. We therefore examined, in the fly, variation in the glycogen contents of the brain, the whole head and the body throughout the rest/activity cycle and after rest deprivation. Glycogen in the brain varies significantly throughout the day (p=0.001) and is highest during rest and lowest while flies are active. Glycogen levels in the whole head and body do not show diurnal variation. Brain glycogen drops significantly when flies are rest deprived for 3 h (p=0.034) but no significant differences are observed after 6 h of rest deprivation. In contrast, glycogen is significantly depleted in the body after both 3 and 6 h of rest deprivation (p<0.0001 and p<0.0001, respectively). Glycogen in the fly brain changes in relationship to rest and activity and demonstrates a biphasic response to rest deprivation similar to that observed in mammalian astrocytes in culture. 相似文献

Human skin fibroblasts from patients with Type IV glycogen storage disease, in which there is a demonstrable deficiency of glycogen branching enzyme, were shown to be able to synthesize [14C]glycogen containing [14C]glucose at branch points when sonicates containing endogenous glycogen synthase were incubated with UDP[14C]glucose. The branch point content of the glycogen synthesized by the Type IV cells was essentially the same as that formed by normal cells, but the total synthetic capacity of the Type IV cells was lower. A new assay for the branching enzyme using glycogen synthase as the indicator enzyme has been developed. Using this assay it has been shown that the residual branching enzyme of affected children and of their heterozygote parents is less easily inhibited by an IgG antibody raised in rabbits against the normal human liver enzyme than is the branching enzyme of normal fibroblasts. 相似文献

Amylin activates glycogen phosphorylase and inactivates glycogen synthase via a cAMP-independent mechanism. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Although the novel pancreatic peptide amylin has been shown to induce insulin resistance and decrease glucose uptake, the mechanism of amylin's actions is unknown. The following study evaluated the effect of amylin on glycogen metabolism in isolated soleus muscles in the presence and absence of insulin (200 microU/ml). Total glycogen, glycogen phosphorylase and glycogen synthases activities, and cAMP levels were measured. Total glycogen levels were significantly decreased by amylin (100 nM) in fed or fasted muscles under conditions of insulin stimulation. Amylin (100 nM) activated glycogen phosphorylase by as much as 100% and decreased glycogen synthase activity by over 60%, depending on the metabolic state of the muscles. These effects where comparable to those of the beta adrenergic agonist isoproterenol. A lower concentration of amylin (1 nM) did not significantly affect glycogen levels, glycogen phosphorylase, or glycogen synthase activity. Cyclic AMP levels were increased two-fold by isoproterenol but were unaffected by amylin. In conclusion, amylin induces glycogenolysis by decreasing glycogen synthesis and increasing breakdown. The effect of amylin on enzyme activity is consistent with a phosphorylation-dependent mechanism. It is likely that these events are mediated via a cAMP independent protein kinase. 相似文献

The effect of flavin mononucleotide (FMN) on the activity of the I- and D-forms of rabbit skeletal muscle glycogen synthase has been studied for the first time. FMN has been shown to inhibit in a noncompetitive fashion the both forms of the enzyme, the D-form being more sensitive to the effect of the inhibitor. It has been shown also that glycogen synthase has three different sites involved in the interaction with inhibitors, namely, and active site, an adenyl nucleotide binding site and a FMN binding site. FMN binding has been shown to occur mostly via the isoalloxasine ring. 相似文献

The electron microscopic appearance of glycogen has been studied in the organs of several animal species. Glycogen almost always appears as roughly circular granules from 150 to 400 A in diameter. The intrinsic electron density of glycogen varies from tissue to tissue; however, treatment with lead hydroxide as described by Watson deeply stains the granules. Glycogen pellets were isolated from some of the tissues studied by centrifugation. Such pellets were shown to be glycogen by chemical and histochemical criteria. When thin sections of the pellet are examined under the electron microscope they can be seen to consist of densely packed granules similar to those found in the intact tissues. Such pellets are also stained for electron microscopy by short exposure to lead hydroxide. 相似文献

The yeast glycogen branching enzyme (EC 2.4.1.18) is shown to be induced in batch culture simultaneously with the onset of intracellular glycogen accumulation. The branching enzyme structural gene (GLC3) has been cloned. Its predicted amino acid sequence is very similar to procaryotic branching enzymes. Northern analysis indicates that GLC3 mRNA abundance increases in late exponential growth phase coincident with glycogen accumulation. Disruption of the branching enzyme structural gene establishes that branching enzyme activity is an absolute requirement for maximal glycogen synthesis. 相似文献

Identification of the 38-kDa subunit of rabbit skeletal muscle glycogen synthase as glycogenin 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Glycogen synthase from rabbit skeletal muscle has been shown to be a complex of two types of subunit which have apparent molecular masses of 86 kDa and 38 kDa and are present in a 1:1 molar ratio. The 38-kDa component was separated from the 86-kDa catalytic subunit by gel filtration in the presence of 2 M LiBr, and a number of chymotryptic peptides were sequenced. This demonstrated that the 38-kDa subunit was glycogenin, the protein that is bound covalently to glycogen and believed to be the 'primer' involved in the initiation of de novo glycogen synthesis. 相似文献

Glycogen has been isolated from the livers of rats which had been fasted and then intubated with d-glucose. The structure of the glycogen, as determined by iodine staining and enzymic methods, was shown to be very similar to that from control animals. There were slight differences in the iodine-staining properties, but not as marked as that previously reported in the literature. 相似文献

A novel domain in AMP-activated protein kinase causes glycogen storage bodies similar to those seen in hereditary cardiac arrhythmias 总被引:21,自引:0,他引:21

The AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is an alphabetagamma heterotrimer that is activated by low cellular energy status and affects a switch away from energy-requiring processes and toward catabolism. While it is primarily regulated by AMP and ATP, high muscle glycogen has also been shown to repress its activation. Mutations in the gamma2 and gamma3 subunit isoforms lead to arrhythmias associated with abnormal glycogen storage in human heart and elevated glycogen in pig muscle, respectively. A putative glycogen binding domain (GBD) has now been identified in the beta subunits. Coexpression of truncated beta subunits lacking the GBD with alpha and gamma subunits yielded complexes that were active and normally regulated. However, coexpression of alpha and gamma with full-length beta caused accumulation of AMPK in large cytoplasmic inclusions that could be counterstained with anti-glycogen or anti-glycogen synthase antibodies. These inclusions were not affected by mutations that increased or abolished the kinase activity and were not observed by using truncated beta subunits lacking the GBD. Our results suggest that the GBD binds glycogen and can lead to abnormal glycogen-containing inclusions when the kinase is overexpressed. These may be related to the abnormal glycogen storage bodies seen in heart disease patients with gamma2 mutations. 相似文献

The Escherichia coli B glycogen synthase has been purified to apparent homogeneity with the use of a 4-aminobutyl-Sepharose column. Two fractions of the enzyme were obtained: glycogen synthase I with a specific activity of 380 mumol mg-1 and devoid of branching enzyme activity and glycogen synthase II having a specific activity of 505 mumol mg-1 and containing branching enzyme activity which was 0.1% of the activity observed for the glycogen synthase. Only one protein band was found in disc gel electrophoresis for each glycogen synthase fraction and they were coincident with glycogen synthase activity. One major protein band and one very faint protein band which hardly moved into the gel were observed in sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis of the glycogen synthase fractions. The subunit molecular weight of the major protein band in sodium dodecyl sulfate gel electrophoresis of both glycogen synthase fractions was determined to be 49 000 +/- 2 000. The molecular weights of the native enzymes were determined by sucrose density gradient ultracentrifugation. Glycogen synthase I had a molecular weight of 93 000 while glycogen synthase II had a molecular weight of 200 000. On standing at 4 degrees C or at -85 degrees C both enzymes transform into species having molecular weights of 98 000, 135 000, and 185 000. Thus active forms of the E. coli B glycogen synthase can exist as dimers, trimers, and tetramers of the subunit. The enzyme was shown to catalyze transfer of glucose from ADPglucose to maltose and to higher oligosaccharides of the maltodextrin series but not to glucose. 1,5-Gluconolactone was shown to be a potent inhibitor of the glycogen synthase reaction. The glycogen synthase reaction was shown to be reversible. Formation of labeled ADPglucose occurred from either [14C]ADP or [14C]glycogen. The ratio of ADP to ADPglucose at equilibrium at 37 degrees C was determined and was found to vary threefold in the pH range of 5.27-6.82. From these data the ratio of ADP2- to ADPglucose at equilibrium was determined to be 45.8 +/- 4.5. Assuming that deltaF degrees of the hydrolysis of the alpha-1,4-glucosidic linkage is -4.0 kcal the deltaF degrees of hydrolysis of the glucosidic linkage in ADPglucose is -6.3 kcal. 相似文献

Chronic caloric restriction (CR) prevents the development of obesity and maintains health, slows aging processes, and prevents or substantially delays the development of non-insulin-dependent diabetes. Because changes in energy metabolism could be involved in all of these positive effects of CR, we examined glycogen synthase (GS) and glycogen phosphorylase (GP) activities and glucose 6-phosphate (G6P) and glycogen concentrations in skeletal muscle samples before and during a euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp in 6 older aged monkeys in which CR had been continued for 10.4 ± 2.1 years. Basal GS activity (fractional velocity and independent) was significantly higher in the CR monkeys than has been previously shown in normal, hyperinsulinemic and diabetic monkeys. The normal effect of insulin to activate GS was absent in the CR group due to the paradoxical finding in some of these monkeys of a reduction in GS activity by insulin. Insulin also had the unexpected effect of increasing the independent activity of GP above basal activity (p<0.05). There was an inverse relationship between the change (insulin-stimulated minus basal) in GS fractional velocity and GP activity ratio (r=-0.91, p<0.005). The basal independent activities of GS and GP were also inversely correlated (r=-0.79, p<0.05). The insulin-stimulated concentration of G6P tended to be higher than the basal concentration (p<0.06) and was significantly higher than that previously shown in normal monkeys (p<0.05). We suggest that long-term calorie restriction (1) results in alterations in glycogen metabolism that may be important to the anti-diabetogenic and anti-aging effects of CR and (2) unmasks early defects which may indicate the likelihood of ultimately developing obesity and diabetes. 相似文献

The distribution in liver cell fractions of UDPG-glycogen transferase has been studied. In fasting animals which have been refed 6 hours before sacrifice, the distribution of the enzyme in the various cell fractions can be correlated with the glycogen content of each fraction. A purified glycogen fraction has been prepared by differential centrifugation in sucrose gradients. This glycogen fraction contains vesicular structures which resemble those seen in association with glycogen deposits in the intact liver cell. In addition, the glycogen pellet contains UDPG-glycogen transferase in high specific activity. Subfractionation of the glycogen pellet separates the majority of vesicular elements from the bulk of transferase activity and glycogen. The evidence presented suggests that the presence of UPDG-glycogen transferase in the glycogen pellet is to be attributed to its binding to glycogen rather than to its association with the structural elements found in the glycogen fraction. 相似文献

Summary The glycogen of megakaryocytes and blood platelets has been investigated in glutaraldehyde and osmium tetroxide fixed tissues by the periodic acid-thiocarbohydrazide-silver proteinate method (PA-TCH-SP). The PA-TCH-SP method involves the staining of intracytoplasmic glycogens more densely than the routine lead citrate method. Glycogen having a mean particle diameter of 21.1 nm has been shown localizing in the matrix of mature megakaryocytes, while that of glycogen in the platelets was 26.2 nm. The staining pattern of the glycogen in blood platelets was classified into three groups according to staining intensity.It is found that the PA-TCH-SP method is a very suitable one for the demonstration of intracytoplasmic glycogen from the viewpoints of reaction specificity, reproducibility, fineness of reaction products, sufficiency of electron density, and experimental cost. This method is also a very useful one for differentiating intracytoplasmic glycogens and ribosomes. 相似文献

A turbidimetric method has been developed for the continous monitoring of the enzyme reaction catalyzed by glycogen phosphorylase. This method is based on the registration of the turbidity of glycogen solution at wavelengths above 300 nm. It has been shown that increase in the turbidity is strictly proportional to the quantity of glucose 1-phosphate formed during the enzyme reaction. The method has the advantage of continuity, and it is suitable for determining the initial rate of catalytic synthesis or degradation of glycogen in a relatively simple and fast way. The kinetic experiments may be carried out under various conditions. The method of calculation of the overall equilibrium constant of the enzyme reaction catalyzed by glycogen phosphorylase has been elaborated. This method is based on the analysis of the dependence of the initial rate of the enzyme reaction on the proportiona of the substrate of the forward reaction: [Pi]/([Pi]+[G-1-P]). 相似文献
