Multiple molecular forms of phosphorylase phosphatase associated with particulate glycogen and extracted from the cytosol of dog liver.

The glycogen pellet of dog liver extracts contains a phosphorylase phosphatase which has characteristics different from those of the phosphatases extracted from the cytosol. The phosphatase associated with glycogen is characterized by a M, of 51,000, a half maximal inhibition at 0.3 mM ATP (Hill coefficient : 2) and a Ki for Mg2+ of 1 mM. Treatment with urea or mercaptoethanol of the phosphatase associated with glycogen does not influence the activity, the Mr or the half maximal inhibition by ATP, but a decrease of the Hill coefficient for ATP is observed. A similar treatment of the phosphatases extracted from the high speed supernatant results in a decrease of the Mr of the spontaneously active form from 215,000 to 43,000, without an effect on the Ki for ATP (7 micronM), but accompanied by an increase in activity. The ATP-Mg dependent form of the phosphatase from the high speed supernatant (Mr : 138,000 ; Ka for ATP in the presence of 0.1 mM Mg2+ : 0.3 micronM), is denatured by urea or mercaptoethanol. The phosphatase associated with particulate glycogen cannot be found in the supernatant, nor the phosphorylase phosphatases present in the supernatant in the glycogen pellet. When all the glycogen is mobilized (starvation, glucagon) the phosphatase specifically associated with glycogen cannot be found as such in the cytosol. No activation of synthase beta can be detected neither with the phosphatases extracted from the cytosol nor with the enzyme released from the glycogen pellet.

Effect of Mg2, ATP and some analogs on phosphorylase phosphatase from adrenal cortex.

The effect of Mg2, ATP and some of its analogs was studied on the spontaneously active and the ATP-Mg-dependent forms of phosphorylase phosphatase extracted from adrenal cortex. Inhibition of the spontaneously active form was observed with Mg2 (Ki - 9mM), ATP (Ki = 9micronM), 2'-doxy-ATP (Ki = 8 micronM), AtetraP (Ki = 9 micronM), AMP(CH2)PP (Ki = 11 micronM), ADP(CH2)P (Ki = 19 micronM), ADP(NH)P (Ki = 16micronM) and ADP (Ki = 25micronM). Activation of the ATP-Mg-dependent form was obtained with Mg2 (Ka = 0.55mM) (to a lower extent) and with ATP (Ka = 2micronM), 2'-deoxy-ATP (Ka = 6micronM) or AtetraP (Ka = 15micronM) in the presence of 0.5mM Mg2. Activation with AMP(CH2)PP was only observed in the presence of high concentrations (5mM) of Mg2 (Ka = 13micronM). No activation at all was observed with ADP(CH2)P or ADP(NH)P. Even though the activation of the ATP-Mg-dependent form does not seem to involve a kinase reaction, the stimulation by ATP or its analogs is rather specific, since it does not occur with analogs in which a methylene group or a nitrogen is substituted for the oxygen between the beta- and gamma-phosphates.
