Glycogen Synthetase Activity in Skeletal Muscle. Interconversion of Two Forms and Control of Glycogen Synthesis.
Glycogen synthetase (uridine diphosphate glucose-glycogen glucosyltransferase, EC 2.4.1.11) has been extensively studied in liver and in skeletal muscle (3-8). In extracts from a variety of tissues, measurements of the activity of the enzymes catalyzing the steps from n-glucose 6-phosphate to glycogen suggested that glycogen synthetase was rate-limiting and, hence, was likely to be important in...
متن کاملRabbit Skeletal Muscle Glycogen
Glycogen in its particulate beta-form is localized in the sarcoplasm close to the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Some particles are in close contact with the membranes, on the outer side of the vesicles. The mild technique of differential precipitation-centrifugation has been adapted to the preparation of glycogen from adult skeletal muscle. A preliminary low-speed centrifugation which eliminates the ...
متن کاملFactors affecting muscle glycogen synthetase activity. IV. Comparative study of the different dependent forms of glycogen synthetase.
The properties of the glucose 6-phosphate-dependent forms of glycogen synthetase obtained by incubation with calcium ions or with adenosine triphosphate were compared. The two preparations showed different sensitivity to the action of heat and trypsin. In addition, the synthetase obtained with adenosine triphosphate is reconvertible to the independent form while that prepared with Ca++ is not. ...
متن کاملRegulation of glycogen synthetase. Effects of trypsin on the structure, activity, and phosphorylation of the skeletal muscle enzyme.
Incubation of purified skeletal muscle glycogen synthetase I with trypsin (10 mug/ml) for 15 min decreased the Stokes radius of the enzyme from 68 A to 62 A and the subunit molecular weight from 90,000 to about 73,000. No decrease in the sedimentation coefficient of 13.3 S could be detected. It was calculated that native synthetase I is a tetramer of molecular weight 360,000 to 370,000. Trypsin...
متن کاملGlucose transport rate and glycogen synthase activity both limit skeletal muscle glycogen accumulation.
We varied rates of glucose transport and glycogen synthase I (GS-I) activity (%GS-I) in isolated rat epitrochlearis muscle to examine the role of each process in determining the rate of glycogen accumulation. %GS-I was maintained at or above the fasting basal range during 3 h of incubation with 36 mM glucose and 60 microU/ml insulin. Lithium (2 mM LiCl) added to insulin increased glucose transp...
