PHOSPHORYLATED FORM OF YEAST GLYCOGEN PHOSPHORYLASE WITH PHOSPHATE BOUND IN THE ACTIVE SITE.
Overview
A phosphorylation-initiated mechanism of local protein refolding activates, yeast glycogen phosphorylase (GP). Refolding of the phosphorylated, amino-terminus was shown to create a hydrophobic cluster that wedges into, the subunit interface of the enzyme to trigger activation. The, phosphorylated threonine is buried in the allosteric site. The mechanism, implicates glucose 6-phosphate, the allosteric inhibitor, in facilitating, dephosphorylation by dislodging the buried covalent phosphate through, binding competition. Thus, protein phosphorylation-dephosphorylation may, also be controlled through regulation of the accessibility of the, phosphorylation site to kinases and phosphatases. In mammalian glycogen, phosphorylase, phosphorylation occurs at a distinct locus. The, corresponding allosteric site binds a ligand activator, adenosine, monophosphate, which triggers activation by a mechanism analogous to that, of phosphorylation in the yeast enzyme.
