Zero-order ultrasensitivity in the regulation of glycogen phosphorylase.
The activity of glycogen phosphorylase (1,4-alpha-D-glucan:orthophosphate alpha-D-glucosyltransferase, EC 2.4.1.1) is controlled by a cyclic phosphorylation-dephosphorylation process through the action of the interconverting enzymes, phosphorylase b kinase (ATP:phosphorylase-b phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.38) and phosphorylase a phosphatase (phosphorylase a phosphohydrolase, EC 3.1.3.17). In mu...
متن کاملThreshold responses to morphogen gradients by zero-order ultrasensitivity
Translating a graded morphogen distribution into tight response borders is central to all developmental processes. Yet, the molecular mechanisms generating such behavior are poorly understood. During patterning of the Drosophila embryonic ventral ectoderm, a graded mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activation is converted into an all-or-none degradation switch of the Yan transcriptional r...
متن کاملThe effect of solvents on nucleotide regulation of glycogen phosphorylase.
The activity of glycogen phosphorylase is controlled by two nucleotide sites. We have found that organic solvents affect the regulatory properties of phosphorylase by altering the binding at these two sites. At the activator site, the Ka for AMP is lowered 10-fold in the presence of 10% 1,2-dimethoxyethane while, at the inhibitor site, the Ki for caffeine is increased 6-fold. The stimulation of...
متن کاملRealistic enzymology for post-translational modification: zero-order ultrasensitivity revisited.
Unlimited ultrasensitivity in a kinase/phosphatase "futile cycle" has been a paradigmatic example of collective behaviour in multi-enzyme systems. However, its analysis has relied on the Michaelis-Menten reaction mechanism, which remains widely used despite a century of new knowledge. Modifying and demodifying enzymes accomplish different biochemical tasks; the donor that contributes the modify...
متن کاملRegulation of glycogen metabolism in cultured human muscles by the glycogen phosphorylase inhibitor CP-91149.
Pharmacological inhibition of liver GP (glycogen phosphorylase), which is currently being studied as a treatment for Type II (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes, may affect muscle glycogen metabolism. In the present study, we analysed the effects of the GP inhibitor CP-91149 on non-engineered or GP-overexpressing cultured human muscle cells. We found that CP-91149 treatment decreased muscle GP act...
