The isolation of isozymes Ib, IIIb and Lb of glycogen phosphorylase (EC 2.4.1.1) from chicken tissue is described. Isozymes Ib and IIIb have the same value of Km(G-1-P), i.e. 6.2 mM at 2 mM AMP but differ in A0.5(AMP). Isozyme Lb is characterized by S0.5(G-1-P) of 15 mM at 2 mM AMP and A0.5(AMP) of 600 muM at 20 mM G-1-P; for isozyme La these parameters are 3.7 mM and 20 muM, respectively. All the three isozymes reveal distinct immunochemical differences. In embryonic skeletal muscle the enzyme is represented by isozymes L and III up to the 15th way of embryogenesis; after the 17th day--only by isozyme III. In chicken liver the enzyme is represented only by isozyme L beginning with the 9th day of embryogenesis. At the beginning of tissue differentiation stage (4th day of embryogenesis) fetal tissues were found to contain isozymes L and IL.
In the skeletal muscles of the chick embryo from the 10th till the 15th day of embryogenesis, phosphorylase (EC. 2.4.1.1) is represented by two isozymes one of which corresponds, by electrophoretic mobility, to the liver phosphorylase and another to phosphorylase of the skeletal muscles of the adult rat. From the 17th day of embryogenesis on only one isozyme of phosphorylase is found in the skeletal muscles which is identical with that of the skeletal muscles of the adult bird. The isozyme spectrum of phosphorylase of the whole 4 days old embryo contains, besides phosphorylase L, a special "embryonic" isozyme which differs from that of the skeletal muscles by immunochemical characteristics and electrophoretic mobility. From the 10th day of embryogenesis till hatching, the activity of phosphorylase of the skeletal muscles increases more than 50 times and that of glycogen synthetase (EC. 2.4.1.11) only 4 times.
Changes in the isozyme patterns of glycogen phosphorylase in the rat liver and skeletal muscles were studied during ontogenesis. The presence of a minor component both in the muscles and the liver during embryogenesis was shown by means of immunochemical titration and disc-electrophoresis. The possible nature of this component, its identity with the "embryonic" phosphorylase isozyme [1] and the hybrid form of IL enzyme [2,3].
Glycogen synthetase of the rat embryo liver is represented until the 14th day of embryogenesis by the enzyme of "embryonic" (or so called muscle) type. This type is gradually replaced for an isozyme (isozymes) characteristic of the rat adult liver from the 15th till the 18th days of embryogenesis. The formation of glycogen organelles (glucosomes) in the embryonic liver occurs during the 18--19th day of development, i. e. after the full replacement of "embryonic" glycogen synthetase.
It was established by means of immunochemical titration that phosphorylase of the chickliver, beginning from the 8th day of embryogenesis, was represented by an isozyme, immunochemically identical or closely related to mammalian phosphorylase L. At the early stage of development (4th day) the chick embryo contained both isozyme L (ca. 60%) and isozyme, closely related to mammalian isozyme I. In the liver of 15 days old rat embryos the ratio of isozymes I and L equaled 1 : 2. It is suggested that the ratio of L and IL is close to 1 : 1. The isozyme IL is replaced for the isozyme L completely during the second ten day period of postnatal development.
No dependence was found between the index of the adenylic system phosphorylated state (ATP) : (ADP) (HPO2-4), the ratios (ATP) : (ADP) and (ATP : (ADP + AMP), on one hand, and the ratio (NAD+) : (NADH) in the cytoplasm, on the other one. The maximum value of the ratio (ATP) : (ADP) (HPO2-4) was observed on the 17th day of development and correlated with the maximum rate of gluconeogenesis. The ratio (NAD+) : (NADH) in the cytoplasm suffered no changes until hatching and decreased twice thereafter.
The gradual change of enzymes of glycogen metabolism proceeds during the skeletal muscle differentiation in the loach. The portion of the muscle type phosphorylase in the skeletal muscles of the embryo at the stage of the beginning of movement amounts to 30% and that at the stage of hatching to slightly over 50%. At the stage of yolk resorption, the skeletal muscles contain the muscle type phosphorylase only. At the same time the value of KM(UDPG) for glycogen synthetase gradually increases from 0,1 X 10(-3) up to 0,57 X 10(-3) M. The activity of alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase increases more than 70 times.
In the chick embryo liver the portion of granular glycogen increases from 15 to 90% of the total content during the period from the 8th till the 14th days of developments. The activity of glycogen synthetase (KF 2.4.1.11) localized in the fraction of granular glycogen increases from 40 to 90% of the total activity in the 18 days old embryo. The activity of phosphorylase (KF 2.4.1.1) is detected in the granular glycogen of the liver only on the 12th day of development (10% of the total activity) and increase up to 80% on the 19th day of development. The maximal activation of glycogen synthetase and phosphorylase is noted after the glycosomes of formation in the developing embryoliver. A suggestion is put forward to the effect that the process of glycosome formation is a factor of the control of glycogen synthetase and phosphorylase activity.
The marked changes in the activity and ratio of the active and inactive forms of glycogen synthetase and phosphorylase were found in the liver of developing chick embryo. The activity of phosphorylase increased in the liver from the 8th day of incubation till the end of embryogenesis. The practically complete activation of the inactive form of this enzyme was noted in the end of embryogenesis. The activity of glycogen synthetase in the liver increased till the 17th day of incubation and sharply decreased more than 6 times thereafter. The maximum of the active form of glycogen synthetase (1/3 of total activity) was noted on the 17th day as well. The changes in the content of glycogen synthetase in the liver are synchronized with those in the activity and ratio of the active and inactive forms of glycogen synthetase. The role of changes in the concentration of glucose and glucose-6-phosphate in the control of ratio of the active and inactive forms of enzymes of glycogen metabolism is discussed.
The activity of amylo-1,6-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.33 dextrin: 6-glucohydrolase, "debranching enzyme") in the loach embryos is localized mainly in the blastoderm. On the basis of correlation between the increase in its activity and in the content of hexose monophosphates during embryogenesis, a suggestion is put forward to the effect that the rate of glycogenolysis is controlled by the activity of this enzyme.
