Muscle glycogen phosphorylase allosteric effectors

Muscle glycogen phosphorylase is a dimer of two identical subunits (842 residues, 97.44 kD). Each subunit contains a pyridoxal phosphate cofactor, covalently linked as a Schiff base to Lys °. Each subunit contains an active site (at the center of the subunit) and an allosteric effector site near the subunit interface (Eigure 15.15). In addition, a regulatory phosphorylation site is located at Ser on each subunit. A glycogen-binding site on each subunit facilitates prior association of glycogen phosphorylase with its substrate and also exerts regulatory control on the enzymatic reaction.
