To understand the breakdown of glycogen. 2. To understand the role of glycogen phosphorylase in glycogen breakdown. 3. To understand the role of Glycogen Debranching enzyme 3 Metabolism of Carbohydrates Biochemistry Glycogenolysis Introduction . The biological degradation of glycogen is termed as glycogenolysis. Glycogen is a highly branched, large polymer of glucose molecules linked along its main line by α-1, 4 glycosidic linkages; branches arise by α-1,6 glycosidic bond at about every tenth residues. Fig: 25.1 STRUCTURE OF GLYCOGEN . Glycogen founds in the cytoplasm as granules. Granules also contain the enzymes and regulatory proteins which is required for its synthesis and degradation.It acts as an important energy reserve for the body. It is stored in the liver and skeletal muscle.Glycogen stored in the muscles will be utilized for the energy requirement of muscles only, while glycogen stored in the liver will be used for the energy requirement of the rest of the body. Regulation of glycogenesis and glycogenolysis is very important in maintaining the glycogen homeostasis. These two processes are commonly regulated. Hormones which stimulate glycogenolysis (e.g. glucagon, cortisol, epinephrine, nor 4 Metabolism of Carbohydrates Biochemistry Glycogenolysis epinephrine) concurrently inhibit glycogenesis. On the other hand, insulin, which promotes the body to store glycogenesis, is inhibiting glycogenolysis. Glycogen is degraded by two different pathways. In the first, glucose is released in muscles to fuel its contraction or it is released in liver to transport it in to the blood. It is catalysed by the Glycogen phosphorylase and Debranching enzyme. In the second pathway, glycogen is degraded to glucose within the lysosome by the enzyme α-glucosidase and acid maltase. Glycogen metabolism is very important because it facilitate the blood glucose level to be maintained between meals (liver glycogen) and also act as an energy reserve for muscular activity. The maintenanceof blood glucose is essential in order to supply energy to tissues. GLYCOGEN GLUCOSE Fig: 24.1 Glycogenolysis leads to formation of glucose STEPS OF GLYCOGENOLYSIS Glycogenolysis requires2main enzymes. Glycogenolysisoccurs by a different pathwayfrom glycogenesis. 5 Metabolism of Carbohydrates Biochemistry Glycogenolysis 1.

Glucose-1-phosphate formation from non reducing end of glycogen by Glycogen phosphorylase . Glycogen is broken-down in to Glucose-1-Phosphate (G1P) by Glycogen Phosphorylase. It is carried out by phosphorolysis reaction. Phosphorolysis 6 Metabolism of Carbohydrates Biochemistry Glycogenolysis reaction involves the cleavage of larger molecules into smaller molecules. It uses phosphate for the cleavage. Such breakdown of bonds by the addition of orthophosphate is referred to as phosphorolysis. A hydrolysis reaction also involves the same process but it uses water instead of phosphate for the cleavage of bond. GLYCOGEN (n residues) HPO4-2 GLYCOGEN PHOSPHORYLASE GLYCOGEN (n-1) . Cleavage by phosphorolysisFig: 24.3 Formation is energetically of G- 1favourable-P from glycogen because released glucose is phosphorylated. While hydrolytically release of sugar needs to be phosphorylated before enters into the glycolytic pathway. 7 Metabolism of Carbohydrates Biochemistry Glycogenolysis . Glycogen phosphorylase act on exoglycosidic bond. Pyridoxal phosphate is an necessary cofactor in the glycogen phosphorylase reaction. This cofactor is linked to lysine 680 of the enzyme. Glycogen phosphorylase will act repeatedly on non-reducing ends of a glycogen chain. Glycogen phosphorylase can act continuously until it reaches 4 glucose away from α 1-6 branch point. Glycogen phosphorylase is an allosteric enzyme. AMP acts as an allosteric activator while ATP, G6P and glucose acts as an allosteric inhibitor. Glycogen phosphorylase is also regulated by covalent modification. ( For further details please refer module:26 , regulation of glycogen degradation) . Generally in the structure of glycogen about 1 in 10 residues is branched. In such situation phosphorylase enzyme cannot degrade glycogen independently. It will stop to a halt after the release of six glucose molecules per branch. 2. Removal of α-1,6 branches from glycogen by Glycogen Debranching enzyme . In glycogen, α- 1-6 glycosidic bonds at the branch point are not susceptible to cleavage by glycogen phosphorylase while it can act continuously until it reaches four glucose away from α 1-6 branch point. Thus further degradation of glycogen chain by glycogen phosphorylase occurs only after the action of a glycogen debranching enzyme. Glycogen debranching enzyme shows two differentactivities. o Transferase activity o α 16 glucosidase activity . In transferase activity, the enzyme removes and transfers terminal 3 of the 4 glucose residues. It transfers this moiety intact to the non reducing end of another 8 Metabolism of Carbohydrates Biochemistry Glycogenolysis branch. It involves cleaving of an α (14) linkage and formation of new α (14) linkage in another branch. This action leaves a single glucose at the α1,6 branch. In α 16 glucosidase activity, enzyme removes the single glucose residue which is remaining at branch point by an alpha (16 glucosidase activity of the same debranching enzyme. 91 % of the glycogen residues are converted to Glucose-1-phosphate by the combined activity of glycogen phosphorylase and glycogen debranching enzyme. Remaining about 8 % are converted to glucose by the α 16 glucosidase activity of the glycogen debranching enzyme. 3. Glucose-6-phosphate formation from Glucose-1-phosphate by Phosphoglucomutase . Glucose-1-phosphate is converted to Glucose-6-phosphate by Phosphoglucomutase. Active site of the active Phosphoglucomutase molecule has a phosphorylated serine residue. The phosphoryl group istransferred from the amino acid serine to the hydroxyl group (C-6) of glucose 1-phosphate. It result in to the formation of intermediate called glucose1, 6-bisphosphate. The phosphoryl group from the C-1 9 Metabolism of Carbohydrates Biochemistry Glycogenolysis of glucose 1, 6-bisphosphate is then transfer to the serine residue of the enzyme. It results in to the formation of glucose 6-phosphate and the regeneration of the enzyme. This reaction is reversible. It allows the inter conversion of Glucose-6-Phosphate and Glucose-1-Phosphate. This isvery important. Phosphoglucomutase is also required to form.

This work was carried out to identify the structural basis underlying this diversification of function. In this paper, we examine â-PGM activation by the Mg2+ cofactor, â-PGM activation by Asp8 phosphorylation, and the role of cap domain closure in substrate discrimination. First, the 1.90 Å resolution X-ray crystal structure of the Mg2+-â-PGM complex is examined in the context of + + previously reported structures of the Mg2 -R-D-galactose-1-phosphate-â-PGM, Mg2 -phospho-â-PGM, and Mg2+-â-glucose-6-phosphate-1-phosphorane-â-PGM complexes to identify conformational changes that occur during catalytic turnover. The essential role of Asp8 in nucleophilic catalysis was confirmed by demonstrating that the D8A and D8E mutants are devoid of catalytic activity.

Zoology (Semester-II) Paper: CC7 Unit: 2.3 Topic: Glycogenolysis and Pentose Phosphate Pathway Dr. Gajendra Kumar Azad Assistant Professor Post Graduate Department of Zoology Patna University, Patna 1 Glycogenolysis Glycogen is a polymer of glucose and is a primary carbohydrate storage form in animals. The glycogen is composed of units of glucose linked by α(1, 4) and branches have α(1, 6) occurring approximately every 8-12 residues. Each glycogen molecule have a single reducing and multiple non-reducing ends. Figure: Glycogen structure Because glycogen contains so many glucoses, it acts like a battery backup for the body, providing a quick source of glucose when needed and providing a place to store excess glucose when glucose concentrations in the blood rise. 2 Breakdown of glycogen (glycogenolysis) involves following steps All steps of glycogenolysis occurs in cytosol Step 1: Release of glucose 1-phosphate from glycogen Step 2: Rearrangement of the remaining glycogen molecule Step 3: Conversion of glucose 1-phosphate to glucose 6-phosphate Glucose 6-phosphate can have following fates: 1) broken down by glycolysis 2) converted to glucose by gluconeogenesis, 3) oxidized in the pentose phosphate pathway. Phosphoglucomutase glucose 1-phosphate glucose 6-phosphate Figure: Steps of glycogenolysis 3 Step 1: Release of glucose 1-phosphate from glycogen Glycogen Phosphorylase catalyses breakdown of glycogen into glucose-1- phosphate. Note that the phosphate does not come from ATP. Since ATP is not used to put phosphate on glucose-1-phosphate, thus this reaction saves energy.

  • Glycogenesis
    Glycogenesis Glycogen is the storage form of glucose in animals and humans which is analogous to the starch in plants. Glycogen is synthesized and stored mainly in the liver and the muscles. Structurally, glycogen is very similar to amylopectin with alpha acetal linkages, however, it has even more branching and more glucose units are present than in amylopectin. Various samples of glycogen have been measured at 1,700-600,000 units of glucose. The structure of glycogen consists of long polymer chains of glucose units connected by an alpha acetal linkage. All of the monomer units are alpha-D-glucose, and all the alpha acetal links connect C # 1 of one glucose to C # 4 of the next glucose. The branches are formed by linking C # 1 to a C # 6 through acetal linkages. In glycogen, the branches occur at intervals of 8-10 glucose units (in amylopectin the branches are separated by 12-20 glucose units). Carbon # 1 is called the anomeric carbon and is the center of an acetal functional group. The Alpha position is defined as the ether oxygen being on the opposite side of the ring as the C # 6. In the chair structure this results in a downward projection. Plants make starch and cellulose through the photosynthesis processes. Animals and human in turn eat plant materials and products. Digestion is a process of hydrolysis where the starch is broken ultimately into the various monosaccharides. A major product is of course glucose which can be used immediately for metabolism to make energy. The glucose that is not used immediately is converted in the liver and muscles into glycogen for storage by the process of glycogenesis.

Marc Fell and James P. Morton * Research Institute for Sport & Exercise Sciences, Liverpool John Moores University, Liverpool L3 3AF, UK; [email protected] (M.A.H.); [email protected] (K.M.H.); [email protected] (J.M.F.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +44-151-904-6233 Received: 9 January 2018; Accepted: 27 February 2018; Published: 2 March 2018 Abstract: Since the introduction of the muscle biopsy technique in the late 1960s, our understanding of the regulation of muscle glycogen storage and metabolism has advanced considerably. Muscle glycogenolysis and rates of carbohydrate (CHO) oxidation are affected by factors such as exercise intensity, duration, training status and substrate availability. Such changes to the global exercise stimulus exert regulatory effects on key enzymes and transport proteins via both hormonal control and local allosteric regulation. Given the well-documented effects of high CHO availability on promoting exercise performance, elite endurance athletes are typically advised to ensure high CHO availability before, during and after high-intensity training sessions or competition. Nonetheless, in recognition that the glycogen granule is more than a simple fuel store, it is now also accepted that glycogen is a potent regulator of the molecular cell signaling pathways that regulate the oxidative phenotype. Accordingly, the concept of deliberately training with low CHO availability has now gained increased popularity amongst athletic circles. In this review, we present an overview of the regulatory control of CHO metabolism during exercise (with a specific emphasis on muscle glycogen utilization) in order to discuss the effects of both high and low CHO availability on modulating exercise performance and training adaptations, respectively.
