Protein-bound glycogen is linked to tyrosine residues.
Tyrosine-glycogen obtained from retina proteoglycogen by exhaustive proteolytic digestion was radiolabelled with 125I. The 125I-labelled tyrosine-glycogen was degraded by amylolytic digestion to a very small radioactive product, which was identified as iodotyrosine by h.p.l.c. The amylolytic mixture used released glucose and maltose that were alpha-linked to the phenolic hydroxy group of p-nitr...
متن کاملTwo forms of yeast glycogen synthetase and their role in glycogen accumulation.
The glycogen content of yeast rises dramatically just before the onset of the stationary phase of growth. Concomitantly, a rapid increase was found in the glucose 6-phosphate-independent (I) activity of glycogen synthetase, as well as in the total amount of enzyme. A mutant (GS 1-36) was obtained, which did not accumulate glycogen during growth. The synthetase from this strain was in the glucos...
متن کاملRequirement of the self-glucosylating initiator proteins Glg1p and Glg2p for glycogen accumulation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Glycogen, a branched polymer of glucose, is a storage molecule whose accumulation is under rigorous nutritional control in many cells. We report the identification of two Saccharomyces cerevisiae genes, GLG1 and GLG2, whose products are implicated in the biogenesis of glycogen. These genes encode self-glucosylating proteins that in vitro can act as primers for the elongation reaction catalyzed ...
متن کاملIncreases in glycogenin and glycogenin mRNA accompany glycogen resynthesis in human skeletal muscle.
Glycogenin is the self-glycosylating protein primer that initiates glycogen granule formation. To examine the role of this protein during glycogen resynthesis, eight male subjects exercised to exhaustion on a cycle ergometer at 75% Vo2 max followed by five 30-s sprints at maximal capacity to further deplete glycogen stores. During recovery, carbohydrate (75 g/h) was supplied to promote rapid gl...
متن کاملMetal specificity is correlated with two crucial active site residues in Escherichia coli alkaline phosphatase.
Escherichia coli alkaline phosphatase exhibits maximal activity when Zn(2+) fills the M1 and M2 metal sites and Mg(2+) fills the M3 metal site. When other metals replace the zinc and magnesium, the catalytic efficiency is reduced by more than 5000-fold. Alkaline phosphatases from organisms such as Thermotoga maritima and Bacillus subtilis require cobalt for maximal activity and function poorly ...
