Glycogen synthase activation

Figure 6.19 Regulation of the synthesis of glycogen from glucose in liver and muscle. Insulin is the major factor stimulating glycogen synthesis in muscle it increases glucose transport into the muscle and the activity of glycogen synthase, activity which is also activated by glucose 6-phosphate but inhibited by glycogen. The latter represents a feedback mechanism and the former a feedforward. The mechanism by which glycogen inhibits the activity is not known. The mechanism for the insulin effect is discussed in Chapter 12. Figure 6.19 Regulation of the synthesis of glycogen from glucose in liver and muscle.

FIGURE 15-36 Control of glycogen synthesis from blood glucose in myocytes. Insulin affects three of the five steps in this pathway, but it is the effects on transport and hexokinase activity, not the change in glycogen synthase activity, that increase the flux toward glycogen. [Pg.596]

Correct answer = B. Epinephrine and glucagon both cause increased glycogen degradation in the liver. Therefore, glycogen phosphorylase activity is increased, whereas glycogen synthase activity is decreased. Both cAMP-dependent protein kinase and its substrate, phosphorylase kinase, are also activated. [Pg.134]

Figure 20-2. The mobilization of glycogen in the liver in response to hormonal signals. Binding of the hormones glucagon and/or epinephrine causes the activation of adenylate cyclase resulting in the production of cyclic AMP, which activates protein kinase A. By phosphorylation reactions, protein kinase A inactivates glycogen synthase, activates a cascade that results in active glycogen phosphorylase, and produces an active inhibitor of protein phosphatase 1.

In vitro studies Phosphorylation of the glycogen synthase activity leads to decreased activity but phosphorylations at different sites have different effects. Little or no inactivation is seen with phosphorylation at sites 5, la, and lb while phosphorylation of site 2 gives moderate inactivation. A most potent inactivation... [Pg.478]

Glycogen synthase has also been purified from A. suum muscle and is about 3% of the soluble protein (5). It is converted into an inactive o-form when phosphorylated by ox heart cAMP-dependent protein kinase and binds about 1 mol of phosphate/mol of subunit. A second glycogen synthase activity has also been described and purified from... [Pg.50]
