Disease
[PYGL_HUMAN] Defects in PYGL are the cause of glycogen storage disease type 6 (GSD6) [MIM:232700]. A metabolic disorder characterized by mild to moderate hypoglycemia, mild ketosis, growth retardation, and prominent hepatomegaly. Heart and skeletal muscle are not affected.[1]
Function
[PYGL_HUMAN] Phosphorylase is an important allosteric enzyme in carbohydrate metabolism. Enzymes from different sources differ in their regulatory mechanisms and in their natural substrates. However, all known phosphorylases share catalytic and structural properties.

Publication Abstract from PubMed
Human liver glycogen phosphorylase (HLGP) catalyzes the breakdown of glycogen to maintain serum glucose levels and is a therapeutic target for diabetes. HLGP is regulated by multiple interacting allosteric sites, each of which is a potential drug binding site. We used surface plasmon resonance (SPR) to screen for compounds that bind to the purine allosteric inhibitor site. We determined the affinities of a series of compounds and solved the crystal structures of three representative ligands with K(D) values from 17-550 microM. The crystal structures reveal that the affinities are partly determined by ligand-specific water-mediated hydrogen bonds and side chain movements. These effects could not be predicted; both crystallographic and SPR studies were required to understand the important features of binding and together provide a basis for the design of new allosteric inhibitors targeting this site.
