| Abstract | Skeletal muscle phosphorylase kinase (PhK) is an (αβγδ)4 hetero-oligomeric enzyme complex that phosphorylates and activates glycogen phosphorylase b (GPb) in a Ca2+-dependent reaction that couples muscle contraction with glycogen breakdown. GPb is PhK’s only known in vivo substrate; however, given the great size and multiple subunits of the PhK complex, we screened muscle extracts for other potential targets. Extracts of P/J (control) and I/lnJ (PhK deficient) mice were incubated with [γ-32P]ATP with or without Ca2+ and compared to identify potential substrates. Candidate targets were resolved by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and phosphorylated glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) was identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectroscopy. In vitro studies showed GAPDH to be a Ca2+-dependent substrate of PhK, although the rate of phosphorylation is very slow. GAPDH does, however, bind tightly to PhK, inhibiting at low concentrations (IC50 ~ 0.45 µM) PhK’s conversion of GPb. When a short synthetic peptide substrate was substituted for GPb, the inhibition was negligible, suggesting that GAPDH may inhibit predominantly by binding to the PhK complex at a locus distinct from its active site on the γ subunit. To test this notion, the PhK–GAPDH complex was incubated with a chemical cross-linker, and a dimer between the regulatory β subunit of PhK and GAPDH was formed. This interaction was confirmed by the fact that a subcomplex of PhK missing the β subunit, specifically an αγδ subcomplex, was unable to phosphorylate GAPDH, even though it is catalytically active toward GPb. Moreover, GAPDH had no effect on the conversion of GPb by the αγδ subcomplex. The interactions described herein between the β subunit of PhK and GAPDH provide a possible mechanism for the direct linkage of glycogenolysis and glycolysis in skeletal muscle. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
