Abstract
Starch synthase 4 (SS4) plays a specific role in starch synthesis because it controls the number of starch granules synthesized in the chloroplast and is involved in the initiation of the starch granule. We showed previously that SS4 interacts with fibrillins 1 and is associated with plastoglobules, suborganelle compartments physically attached to the thylakoid membrane in chloroplasts. Both SS4 localization and its interaction with fibrillins 1 were mediated by the N-terminal part of SS4. Here we show that the coiled-coil region within the N-terminal portion of SS4 is involved in both processes. Elimination of this region prevents SS4 from binding to fibrillins 1 and alters SS4 localization in the chloroplast. We also show that SS4 forms dimers, which depends on a region located between the coiled-coil region and the glycosyltransferase domain of SS4. This region is highly conserved between all SS4 enzymes sequenced to date. We show that the dimerization seems to be necessary for the activity of the enzyme. Both dimerization and the functionality of the coiled-coil region are conserved among SS4 proteins from phylogenetically distant species, such as Arabidopsis and Brachypodium This finding suggests that the mechanism of action of SS4 is conserved among different plant species.

Abstract
To investigate the effect of elevation of liver glycogen synthase (GYS2) activity on glucose and glycogen metabolism, we performed adenoviral overexpression of the mutant GYS2 with six serine-to-alanine substitutions in rat primary hepatocytes. Cell-free assays demonstrated that the serine-to-alanine substitutions caused constitutive activity and electrophoretic mobility shift. In rat primary hepatocytes, overexpression of the mutant GYS2 significantly reduced glucose production by 40% and dramatically induced glycogen synthesis via the indirect pathway rather than the direct pathway. Thus, we conclude that elevation of glycogen synthase activity has an inhibitory effect on glucose production in hepatocytes by shunting gluconeogenic precursors into glycogen. In addition, although intracellular compartmentation of glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) remains unclear in hepatocytes, our results imply that there are at least two G6P pools via gluconeogenesis and due to glucose phosphorylation, and that G6P via gluconeogenesis is preferentially used for glycogen synthesis in hepatocytes.

Abstract
Glycogen and starch synthases are retaining glycosyltransferases that catalyze the transfer of glucosyl residues to the non-reducing end of a growing alpha-1,4-glucan chain, a central process of the carbon/energy metabolism present in almost all living organisms. The crystal structure of the glycogen synthase from Pyrococcus abyssi, the smallest known member of this family of enzymes, revealed that its subunits possess a fold common to other glycosyltransferases, a pair of beta/alpha/beta Rossmann fold-type domains with the catalytic site at their interface. Nevertheless, the archaeal enzyme presents an unprecedented homotrimeric molecular arrangement both in solution, as determined by analytical ultracentrifugation, and in the crystal. The C-domains are not involved in intersubunit interactions of the trimeric molecule, thus allowing for movements, likely required for catalysis, across the narrow hinge that connects the N- and C-domains. The radial disposition of the subunits confers on the molecule a distinct triangular shape, clearly visible with negative staining electron microscopy, in which the upper and lower faces present a sharp asymmetry. Comparison of bacterial and eukaryotic glycogen synthases, which use, respectively, ADP or UDP glucose as donor substrates, with the archaeal enzyme, which can utilize both molecules, allowed us to propose the residues that determine glucosyl donor specificity.

Abstract
Dietary carbohydrate, the principal energy source for insects, also determines the level of the blood sugar trehalose. This disaccharide, a byproduct of glycolysis, occurs at highly variable concentrations that play a key role in regulating feeding behavior and growth. Little is known of how developing insects partition the metabolism of dietary carbohydrate to meet the needs for blood trehalose, ribose sugars and NADPH, as well as energy production. This study examined the effects of varying dietary sucrose levels between 3.4 and 34 g/l in an artificial diet on growth rate, depot fat content and blood sugar formation from (13)C-enriched glucose in Manduca sexta. (2-(13)C)Glucose or (1,2-(13)C(2))glucose were administered to larvae by injection and after 6 h blood was analyzed by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. [2-(13)C]Trehalose was the principal product of [2-(13)C]glucose, but trehalose was also (13)C-enriched at C1 and C3, demonstrating activity of the pentose phosphate pathway. The trehalose C1/C2 (13)C-enrichment ratio, a measure of the substrate cycled through the pentose pathway, significantly increased with increasing dietary sugar, and reached a mean of 0.22 at the highest level. Blood trehalose concentration increased from approximately 38 mM at the lowest dietary carbohydrate level to 75 mM at the highest. Moreover, blood trehalose, growth rate and depot fat all increased in precisely the same way in relation to the level of pentose cycling. Based on the multiplet (13)C-NMR signal structure of trehalose synthesized from [1,2-(13)C(2)]glucose by insects maintained on a high carbohydrate diet, it was established that the formation of trehalose from glucose phosphate derived directly from the administered substrate, with no involvement of the pentose pathway, was greater than that from glucose phosphate metabolized through the pentose pathway prior to trehalose synthesis. On the other hand, glucose phosphate first metabolized through the pentose pathway contributed more to pyruvate formation than did glucose phosphate formed from the labeled substrate metabolized directly to pyruvate via glycolysis; this finding based on the multiplet (13)C-NMR signal structure in alanine derived from pyruvate. The results suggest that as dietary carbohydrate increases blood sugar synthesis from glucose phosphate derived directly from dietary sugar is facilitated by the pentose pathway which provides an increasing amount of substrate to pyruvate formation.

Abstract
The 5'-flanking region of the gene encoding human muscle glycogen synthase was isolated from a human placental genomic library and sequenced. The sequence is TATA-less and G+C-rich, and putative transcription-controlling sequences were identified. Furthermore, a simple (dC-dA)n sequence repeat was identified about 4 kb upstream from the start codon. This sequence was highly polymorphic and five alleles were typed in the Japanese population using the polymerase chain reaction.

Abstract
Glycogen synthase from human liver was studied, and its properties were compared with those of rat liver glycogen synthase. The rat and human liver glycogen synthases were similar in their pH profile, in their kinetic constants for the substrate UDP-glucose and the activator glucose 6-phosphate, and in their elution profiles from Q-Sepharose. The apparent molecular weight of the human synthase subunit was 80,000-85,000 by gel electrophoresis, which is similar to that of the rat enzyme. In addition, antibodies to rat liver glycogen synthase recognized human liver glycogen synthase, indicating that the enzymes of these two species share antigenic determinants. However, there were significant differences between the two enzymes. In particular, the total activity of the human enzyme was higher than that of the rat. The human enzyme, purified to near homogeneity, had a specific activity of 40 U/mg protein compared with 20 U/mg protein for the rat enzyme. The active forms of the rat enzyme had greater thermal stability than those of the human enzyme, but the human enzyme was more stable on storage in various buffers. Last, amino acid analysis indicated differences between the enzymes of the two species. Since glycogen synthase is an important enzyme in liver glycogen synthesis, the characterization of this enzyme in the human will help provide insight regarding human liver glycogen synthesis.

Abstract
A glycogen synthase, designated GS II, which occurs in a protein/carbohydrate complex has been purified from Ascaris suum muscle. The purified GS-II complex which is eluted from concanavalin-A--Sepharose contains proteins with Mr 140,000 and 66,000 and a glycoprotein with a carbohydrate/protein mass ratio of 3:1. GS II activity was totally dependent on glucose 6-phosphate, but exogenous glycogen was not required for polysaccharide synthesis. The GS-II complex was not phosphorylated by cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase, and antibodies to the protein and carbohydrate components of GS II did not cross react with the purified cyclic-AMP-regulated glycogen synthase (GS I) from A. suum muscle. Polysaccharide which was synthesized de novo by the complex was added to the large-molecular-mass glycoprotein in GS II. The glycogen-like character of the newly synthesized polysaccharide was confirmed by the observation that glycogen phosphorylase utilized the polymer as substrate in both the synthesis and degradation reactions. A model is discussed in which a core glycoprotein serves as the substrate for a glycogen synthase which is distinctly different from GS I.

Abstract
Glycogen synthase was partially purified from canine brain to about 70% purity. The purified enzyme showed differences from the properties of the skeletal muscle enzyme with respect to molecular weights of the holoenzyme and subunit and phosphopeptide mapping. The multifunctional calmodulin-dependent protein kinase from the brain phosphorylated brain glycogen synthase with concomitant inactivation of the enzyme. Although about 1.3 mol of phosphate/mol subunit was maximally incorporated into glycogen synthase, 0.4 mol of phosphate/mol subunit was sufficient for the maximal inactivation of the enzyme. The results indicate that brain glycogen synthase is regulated in a calmodulin-dependent manner similarly to the skeletal muscle enzyme, but that the brain enzyme is different from the skeletal muscle enzyme.

Abstract
An enzyme with a molecular weight of 54,000 which possesses phosphatase activity acting on glucose 1-P, galactose 1-P and mannose 1-P has been partially purified and characterized from pig skeletal muscle. The enzyme is free of phosphoglucomutase and galactokinase activities, and it possesses a neutral optimum pH. Pi acts as an inhibitor; glucose, galactose and mannose do not produce any effect. Divalent cations are required for activity, Mg2+ being the most effective activator. Micromolar levels of fluoride and millimolar levels of chloride act as inhibitors; however, vanadate does not produce any effect. The enzyme may have an important role when galactose accumulates in tissues; for example, in galactosemic patients and in young animals ingesting high-galactose diets.

Abstract
Rat liver glycogen synthase was phosphorylated by purified protein kinase C in a Ca2+- and phospholipid-dependent fashion to 1-1.4 mol PO4/subunit. Analysis of the 32P-labeled tryptic peptides derived from the phosphorylated synthase by isoelectric focusing and two-dimensional peptide mapping revealed the presence of a major radioactive peptide. The sites in liver synthase phosphorylated by protein kinase C appears to be different from those phosphorylated by other kinases. Prior phosphorylation of the synthase by protein kinase C has no significant effect on the subsequent phosphorylation by glycogen synthase (casein) kinase-1 or kinase Fa, but prevents the synthase from further phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase, Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase, phosphorylase kinase, or casein kinase-2. Additive phosphorylation of liver glycogen synthase can be observed by the combination of protein kinase C with the former set of kinases but not with the latter. Phosphorylation of liver synthase by protein kinase C alone did not cause an inactivation nor did the combination of this kinase with glycogen synthase (casein) kinase-1 or kinase Fa produce a synergistic effect on the inactivation of the synthase. Based on these findings we conclude that the phorbol ester-induced inactivation of glycogen synthase previously observed in hepatocytes cannot be accounted for entirely by the activation of protein kinase C.

Abstract
The low-molecular-mass form of two distinct catechol O-methyltransferase activities (S-adenosyl-L-methionine: catechol O-methyltransferase, COMT, EC 2.1.1.6) has been purified to homogeneity from rat liver using 40-70% ammonium sulfate precipitation, gel filtration on Sephadex G-100, adsorption on hydroxyapatite C and ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B. The relative molecular mass Mr, determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis is 22 400 +/- 500. Irradiation of the enzyme in the presence of 8-azido-[methyl-3H]AdoMet results in the specific labeling of the catalytic site of the enzyme. Photolabeling was successful with crude COMT preparations and with the isolated enzyme. Immunocytochemical studies present new information about the localization of the low-molecular-mass form in the liver parenchyma. Subcellularly COMT immunoreactivity could be attributed exclusively to the compartment with glycogen granules. Nucleus, mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum showed no immunostaining.

Abstract
Phosphorylase and glycogen synthase protein were measured in normal and genetically diabetic (C57BL/KsJ db/db) mice liver extracts using rocket immunoelectrophoresis, and these data correlated with measurements of total phosphorylase and total glycogen synthase activities, respectively. Phosphorylase protein in 5-week-old normal mice was about 5 micrograms/mg protein and reached 8 micrograms/mg protein by 9 weeks. In comparison, the diabetic mice had elevated levels of phosphorylase protein (11-13 micrograms/mg protein) which correlated with an increased total phosphorylase activity compared to normals. The correlation coefficient for the phosphorylase activity vs protein plot was highly significant (r = 0.73, P less than 0.001). The molar concentration of phosphorylase subunit in normal mouse liver was calculated to be 11 microM and up to 23 microM in the diabetic mice. The liver concentration of glycogen synthase was relatively constant in normal mice at 400 ng/mg protein (corresponding to approximately 1.4 microM) but varied from 230 to 441 ng/mg protein (0.9 to 1.8 microM) in diabetic mice. There was little correlation between glycogen synthase activity and enzymatic protein (r = 0.15). These results indicate (1) that phosphorylase is present at concentrations approximately 10 times that of glycogen synthase, and (2) that glycogen synthase activity is relatively more dependent upon factors other than the amount of enzymatic protein.

Abstract
Incubation of rat hepatocytes with active phorbol esters and mezerein provoked a decrease in glycogen synthase activity. After the incubation of [3 2 P] phosphate-labeled cells with these tumor promoters, an increase in the amount of 3 2 P bound to the immunoprecipitated enzyme was observed. The decrease in activity highly correlated with the phosphorylation in the smaller CNBr fragment (CB-1) and only at high concentration of the phorbol ester the increase in the phosphorylation of the larger CNBr fragment (CB-2) became significative. Tryptic degradation of CB-1 showed two phosphopeptides after isoelectro focusing analysis (pI 3.9 and pI 3.4) and only one of them (pI 3.9) increased its phosphorylation state after treatment of the cells. These results indicate that the decrease in activity of glycogen synthase by phorbol esters and mezerein is a result of the phosphorylation of the enzyme and that a single site located in CB-1 is preferentially phosphorylated by these agents.

Abstract
32P-labeled glycogen synthase specifically immunoprecipitated from 32P-phosphate incubated rat hepatocytes contains, in addition to [32P] phosphoserine, significant levels of [32P] phosphothreonine (7% of the total [32P] phosphoaminoacids). When the 32P-immunoprecipitate was cleaved with CNBr, the [32P] phosphothreonine was recovered in the large CNBr fragment (CB-2, Mapp 28 Kd). Homogeneous rat liver glycogen synthase was phosphorylated by all the protein kinases able to phosphorylate CB-2 "in vitro" (casein kinases I and II, cAMP-dependent protein kinase and glycogen synthase kinase-3). After analysis of the immunoprecipitated enzyme for phosphoaminoacids, it was observed that only casein kinase II was able to phosphorylate on threonine and 32P-phosphate was only found in CB-2. These results demonstrate that rat liver glycogen synthase is phosphorylated at threonine site(s) contained in CB-2 and strongly indicate that casein kinase II may play a role in the "in vivo" phosphorylation of liver glycogen synthase. This is the first protein kinase reported to phosphorylate threonine residues in liver glycogen synthase.

Abstract
Glycogen synthase I was purified from bovine polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMNs) by a procedure involving concanavalin A-Sepharose affinity chromatography. The purified glycogen-bound glycogen synthase I had a specific activity of 9.83 U/mg protein and the glycogen free enzyme 21 U/mg protein. Molecular ratio of the native enzyme and the subunit were 340 K and 85 K respectively. After phosphorylation by the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase the phosphorylated sites were studied using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) of the tryptic 32P-peptides. The enzyme was phosphorylated at three different sites with retention times identical to site 1a, site 1b, and site 2 from rabbit skeletal muscle glycogen synthase.

Abstract
Glycogen synthase was purified to apparent homogeneity from bovine heart muscle by a procedure involving precipitation of the enzyme in the presence of added glycogen by polyethylene glycol, chromatography on DEAE-Sephacel, and high-speed centrifugation through a sucrose-containing buffer. The enzyme was maintained in the presence of glycogen during the isolation procedure. Glycogen synthase I and D preparations were obtained having specific activities of 21-25 and 30-35 units/mg protein at pH 7.8 and 30 degrees C and having activity ratios of 0.5-0.6 and 0.05-0.10, respectively, when assayed in the absence and in the presence of glucose 6-P.

Abstract
A soluble protein has been identified in rat liver that increases the activity of glycogen synthase without causing synthase b to a conversion. The effect of the activator is to increase synthase b activity in the presence of saturating amounts of UDP-Glc and Glc-6-P. The activator is heat sensitive and does not have protease activity. The effect of the activator is linearly proportional to the amount assayed to a saturable level and its effect is not mimicked by other proteins associated with the control of glycogen metabolism (e.g., phosphorylase).

Abstract
Type-2 casein kinase-TS (Ck-TS) purified to homogeneity from rat liver cytosol exhibits a molecular mass of 130000 daltons in non-denaturating media and a subunit composition consistent with an alpha 2 beta 2 heterotetramer. The quaternary structure of Ck-TS is not compromised by limited proteolysis with trypsin which converts the 38-kDa alpha subunit into 36-kDa (alpha') and 34-kDa (alpha") derivatives, inducing a parallel decrease of enzymatic activity. Since the 25-kDa beta subunit is unaffected under comparable conditions, the catalytic activity seemingly resides in the alpha subunits. The beta subunit, on the other hand, undergoes a very rapid phosphorylation upon incubation of Ck-TS with ATP/Mg2+: 0.8-1.5 mol P/mol Ck-TS are incorporated within 30 s. Such a fast autophosphorylation is neither prevented nor slowed down by the addition of a large excess of phosphorylatable substrates and takes place through an intra-molecular rather than inter-molecular process. This conclusion is supported by the following data. (a) The autophosphorylation rate is linearly proportional to the concentration of Ck-TS. (b) Thermally inactivated Ck-TS is not phosphorylated by catalytic amounts of active enzyme. (c) Basic polypeptides like protamine and polylysine stimulate the activity of Ck-TS toward phosphorylatable substrates while preventing the autophosphorylation reaction. Since the effectors that inhibit autophosphorylation also induce a remarkable decrease of the Km values for the protein substrates, the possibility is discussed that autophosphorylation might represent a regulatory device by which Ck-TS could be converted into a partially inactivated form exhibiting reduced affinity toward its endogenous targets.

Abstract
Rat liver glycogen synthase bound to the glycogen particle was partially purified by repeated high-speed centrifugation. This synthase preparation was labeled with 32P by incubations with cAMP-dependent protein kinase and cAMP-independent synthase (casein) kinase-1 in the presence of [gamma-32P]ATP. The phosphorylated synthase was separated from other proteins in the glycogen pellet by immunoprecipitation with rabbit anti-rat liver glycogen synthase serum. Analysis of the immunoprecipitates by sodium dodecyl sulfate-gel electrophoresis showed that synthase subunits of Mr 85,000 and 80,000 were present in varying proportions. The 32P-labeled synthase in the immunoprecipitate was digested with trypsin, and the resulting peptides were analyzed by isoelectric focusing. Synthase bound to the glycogen particle was phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase at more sites and by cAMP-independent synthase (casein) kinase-1 at less sites than when the homogeneous synthase was incubated with these kinases. Phosphorylation of synthase in the glycogen pellet by either cAMP-dependent protein kinase or cAMP-independent synthase (casein) kinase-1 did not cause a significant inactivation as has been observed when the synthase was incubated with these kinases. Inactivation of synthase in the glycogen pellet, however, can be achieved by the combination of both kinases. This inactivation appears to result from the phosphorylation of a new site by cAMP-independent synthase (casein) kinase-1 neighboring a site previously phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase.

Abstract
The phosphorylation sites in liver synthase were studied using gel filtration and high performance liquid chromatography of 32P-labeled tryptic peptides. Phosphorylase b kinase, calmodulin-dependent glycogen synthase kinase and glycogen synthase kinase 4 from liver phosphorylated the same low Mr tryptic peptide. cAMP-dependent protein kinase mainly phosphorylated the low Mr tryptic peptide, but also incorporated phosphate into two other peptides. Glycogen synthase kinase 5 phosphorylated a single tryptic peptide, whereas glycogen synthase kinase 3 phosphorylated several tryptic peptides. Calcium-phospholipid-dependent protein kinase phosphorylated two tryptic peptides, the major one of which had the same chromatographic properties as the low Mr peptide described above. These findings confirm that liver glycogen synthase undergoes multi-site phosphorylation and suggest that the topography of the sites is generally similar to that in muscle glycogen synthase.

Abstract
To evaluate the contribution of phosphorylase and synthase interconversion as well as the availability of substrates to the onset of liver glycogen synthesis, this process was studied in rats starved overnight and refed for 4 h. On feeding, phosphorylase kinase and phosphorylase were inactivated in a cAMP-independent way, but the proportion of synthase a was unchanged and associated with increased hexoses 6-phosphate (glucose and fructose 6-phosphate), uridine diphosphoglucose (UDPG), and fructose 2,6-bisphosphate concentrations. These findings serve to support a "push" mechanism whereby substrate availability for synthase a concerted with phosphorylase inactivation provokes glycogen deposition. Anesthesia was compulsory for liver sampling and analysis. If such experiments were carried out in conscious rats killed by decapitation, artefactual cAMP-dependent phosphorylase activation and synthase inactivation were observed in starved animals. The phosphorylase activation persisted in refed animals but by a cAMP-independent mechanism.

Abstract
Isolated rat hepatocytes were incubated in a medium containing 0.1 mM [32P]phosphate (0.1 mCi/ml) before exposure to epinephrine, glucagon or vasopressin. 32P-labeled glycogen synthase was purified from extracts of control or hormone-treated cells by the use of specific antibodies raised to rabbit skeletal muscle glycogen synthase. Analysis of the immunoprecipitates by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate indicated that a single 32P-labeled polypeptide, apparent Mr 88000, was removed specifically by the antibodies and corresponded to glycogen synthase. Similar electrophoretic analysis of CNBr fragments prepared from the immunoprecipitate revealed that 32P was distributed between two fragments, of apparent Mr 14000 (CB-1) and 28000 (CB-2). Epinephrine, vasopressin or glucagon increased the 32P content of the glycogen synthase subunit. CB-2 phosphorylation was increased by all three hormones while CB-1 was most affected by epinephrine and vasopressin. These effects correlated with a decrease in glycogen synthase activity. From studies using rat liver glycogen synthase, purified by conventional methods and phosphorylated in vitro by individual protein kinases, it was found that electrophoretically similar CNBr fragments could be obtained. However, neither cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase nor three different Ca2+-dependent enzymes (phosphorylase kinase, calmodulin-dependent protein kinase, and protein kinase C) were effective in phosphorylating CB-2. The protein kinases most effective towards CB-2 were the Ca2+ and cyclic-nucleotide-independent enzymes casein kinase II (PC0.7) and FA/GSK-3. The results demonstrate that rat liver glycogen synthase undergoes multiple phosphorylation in whole cells and that stimulation of cells by glycogenolytic hormones can modify the phosphorylation of at least two distinct sites in the enzyme. The specificity of the hormones, however, cannot be explained simply by the direct action of any known protein kinase dependent on cyclic nucleotide or Ca2+. Therefore, either control of other protein kinases, such as FA/GSK-3, is involved or phosphatase activity is regulated, or both.

Abstract
Rat liver type-2 casein kinase-TS (Ck-TS) is unevenly distributed among the different components of the rat liver post-mitochondrial particulate fraction: while it accounts for the whole casein kinase activity of protein-glycogen particles, it is absent in the microsomal membranes (exhibiting exclusively casein kinase activity of type-1) and coexists with type-1 casein kinase in ribosomes. At least seven proteins whose phosphorylation is promoted by Ck-TS have been detected in these fractions. The only important target of Ck-TS in protein-glycogen particles is a rather heterogeneous protein of Mr around 85000 which has been identified as glycogen synthase. Two polypeptides of Mr about 16000, possibly identifiable with acidic proteins P1 and P2, and an unidentified protein of Mr about 35000 are the main ribosomal substrates of Ck-TS. Three protein bands of Mr 52000, 79000 and 91000 are also very efficiently phosphorylated whenever the microsomal membranes, devoid of intrinsic casein kinase-2, are incubated with cytosolic Ck-TS. These membrane-bound radiolabeled proteins require deoxycholate for their solubilization: they are very acidic, according to their high affinity for DEAE-cellulose, and give rise to partially superimposable [32P]peptide maps, suggesting extensive homologies among them. They also exhibit a low affinity Ca2+ binding activity comparable to that of calsequestrin.

Abstract
Rabbit antibody to rat liver glycogen synthase has been used to identify a product of Mr 77,000 - 80,000 from in vitro translation of rat liver mRNA. A comparison of various protease inhibitors on the relative molecular weight of rat liver glycogen synthase suggest that higher molecular weight enzyme forms could arise from incomplete hydrolysis of glycogen before enzyme isolation and enzyme subunit Mr determinations.

Abstract
A calmodulin-dependent glycogen synthase kinase distinct from phosphorylase kinase has been purified approximately equal to 5000-fold from rabbit skeletal muscle by a procedure involving fractionation with ammonium sulphate (0-33%), and chromatographies on phosphocellulose, calmodulin-Sepharose and DEAE-Sepharose. 0.75 mg of protein was obtained from 5000 g of muscle within 4 days, corresponding to a yield of approximately equal to 3%. The Km for glycogen synthase was 3.0 microM and the V 1.6-2.0 mumol min-1 mg-1. The purified enzyme showed a major protein staining band (Mr 58 000) and a minor component (Mr 54 000) when examined by dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The molecular weight of the native enzyme was determined to be 696 000 by sedimentation equilibrium centrifugation, indicating a dodecameric structure. Electron microscopy suggested that the 12 subunits were arranged as two hexameric rings stacked one upon the other. Following incubation with Mg-ATP and Ca2+-calmodulin, the purified protein kinase underwent an 'autophosphorylation reaction'. The reaction reached a plateau when approximately equal to 5 mol of phosphate had been incorporated per 58 000-Mr subunit. Both the 58 000-Mr and 54 000-Mr species were phosphorylated to a similar extent. Autophosphorylation did not affect the catalytic activity. The calmodulin-dependent protein kinase initially phosphorylated glycogen synthase at site-2, followed by a slower phosphorylation of site-1 b. The protein kinase also phosphorylated smooth muscle myosin light chains, histone H1, acetyl-CoA carboxylase and ATP-citrate lyase. These findings suggest that the calmodulin-dependent glycogen synthase kinase may be a enzyme of broad specificity in vivo. Glycogen synthase kinase-4 is an enzyme that resembles the calmodulin-dependent glycogen synthase kinase in phosphorylating glycogen synthase (at site-2), but not glycogen phosphorylase. Glycogen synthase kinase-4 was unable to phosphorylate any of the other proteins phosphorylated by the calmodulin-dependent glycogen synthase kinase, nor could it phosphorylate site 1 b of glycogen synthase. The results demonstrate that glycogen synthase kinase-4 is not a proteolytic fragment of the calmodulin-dependent glycogen synthase kinase, that has lost its ability to be regulated by Ca2+-calmodulin.

Abstract
The nature of protein phosphatases that are active against the phosphorylated proteins of glycogen metabolism was investigated in rabbit skeletal muscle and liver. Six 32P-labelled substrates corresponding to the major phosphorylation sites on glycogen phosphorylase, phosphorylase kinase, glycogen synthase and inhibitor-1 were used in these studies. The results showed that the four protein phosphatases defined in the preceding paper, namely protein phosphatases-1, 2A, 2B and 2C [Ingebritsen, T. S. and Cohen, P. (1983) Eur. J. Biochem. 132, 255-261] were the only significant enzymes acting on these substrates. The four enzymes can be conveniently separated and identified by a combination of ion-exchange chromatography and gel filtration and by the use of specific inhibitors. Three species of protein phosphatase-2A were resolved on DEAE-cellulose, termed protein phosphatases-2Ao (0.12 M NaCl), 2A1 (0.2 M NaCl) and 2A2 (0.28 M NaCl) that had apparent molecular weights of 210000, 210000 and 150000 respectively. Protein phosphatase-2Ao was a completely inactive enzyme whose activity was only expressed after dissociation to a 34000-Mr(app) catalytic subunit by freezing and thawing in 0.2 M 2-mercaptoethanol. This treatment also dissociated protein phosphatases 2A1 and 2A2 to more active 34000-Mr(app) catalytic subunits. The catalytic subunits derived from protein phosphatases-2Ao, 2A1 and 2A2 possessed identical substrate specificities, preferentially dephosphorylated the alpha-subunit of phosphorylase kinase, were unaffected by inhibitor-1 and inhibitor-2 and were inhibited by similar concentrations of ATP. The properties of protein phosphatases-2A1 and 2A2 were very similar to those of the catalytic subunits, except that they were less sensitive to inhibition by ATP. Protein phosphatase-2B was eluted from DEAE-cellulose in the same fraction as protein phosphatase-2Ao. These activities were resolved by gel filtration, the Mr(app) of protein phosphatase-2B being 98000. Protein phosphatase-2B was completely inhibited by 100 microM trifluoperazine, which did not affect the activity of protein phosphatase-2Ao or any other protein phosphatase. Freezing and thawing in 0.2 M 2-mercaptoethanol resulted in partial inactivation of protein phosphatase-2B. Protein phosphatase-2C was eluted from DEAE-cellulose at the leading edge of the peak of protein phosphatase-2A1. These activities were completely resolved by gel filtration, since the Mr(app) of protein phosphatase-2C was 46000. Two forms of protein phosphatase-1 can be identified by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, namely protein phosphatase-1 itself and the Mg X ATP-dependent protein phosphatase. Both these species were eluted at 0.16 M NaCl just ahead of protein phosphatases-2C and 2A1. These enzymes did not interfere with measurements of type-2 protein phosphatases, since it was possible to block their activity with inhibitor-2...

Abstract
Glycogen synthase in the liver extracts of short-term (3 days) streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats is poorly activated by the endogenous synthase phosphatase as well as phosphatase(s) from the liver extracts of normal animals. However, synthase in the liver extracts of diabetic rats is readily activated by the 35,000 Mr rabbit liver protein phosphatase (H. Brandt, F.L. Capulong, and E. Y. C. Lee (J. Biol. Chem. 250, 8038-8044 (1975)). The purified synthases from normal and diabetic animals respond differently after incubations with three different phosphatases. Both normal and diabetic synthase are activated by the 35,000 Mr protein phosphatase; however, the total activity of diabetic, but not the normal, synthase is significantly increased. Normal, but not the diabetic, synthase is activated by a synthase phosphatase from normal rats; this activation is accompanied by an increase in total synthase activity. Incubation of the diabetic synthase with calf intestinal alkaline phosphatase results in a reduction of the total synthase activity, whereas synthase activity of the normal is not significantly affected. The reduction in total activity of the diabetic synthase by treatment with alkaline phosphatase was prevented by prior dephosphorylation with 35,000 Mr rabbit liver protein phosphatase. In addition to their differences in responses to different phosphatases, the normal and diabetic synthases are also different in their molecular weights as determined by sucrose density gradient centrifugation (154,000 +/- 17,000 (n = 6) for the normal and 185,000 +/- 15,000 (n = 8) for the diabetic synthase) and their kinetic properties.

Abstract
Exposure of 32P-prelabelled isolated hepatocytes to vasopressin affected the phosphorylation of nine of the 26 phosphoproteins resolved by sodium dodecyl sulphate gel electrophoresis. Glucagon (2 nM) or cyclic AMP elicited significant changes in the phosphorylation of only four phosphoproteins. A very high concentration of glucagon (1000 nM) affected additional phosphoproteins. Insulin alone significantly increased the phosphorylation of a single protein. Vasopressin, A23187, glucagon and cyclic AMP all induced the dephosphorylation of a single phosphoprotein of mol. wt 20,000. The significance of these results with respect to the short-term control of hepatic metabolism is discussed.
