Identification
Name: Glycogen
Description:Glycogen is a highly branched glucose polymer. It is formed of small chains of 8 to 12 glucose molecules linked together with (1->4) bonds. These small chains are in turn linked together with (1->6) bonds. A single molecule of glycogen can be made of up to 120,000 molecules of glucose. It is stored in the form of granules in the cytosol. (EcoCyc) Glycogen only has one reducing end and a large number of non-reducing ends with a free hydroxyl group at carbon 4. The glycogen granules contain both glycogen and the enzymes of glycogen synthesis (glycogenesis) and degradation (glycogenolysis). The enzymes are nested between the outer branches of the glycogen molecules and act on the non-reducing ends. Therefore, the many non-reducing end-branches of glycogen facilitate its rapid synthesis and breakdown. (HMDB)

Enzymes

Protein Details
• 1,4-alpha-glucan-branching enzyme
General function:
Involved in 1,4-alpha-glucan branching enzyme activity
Specific function:
Catalyzes the formation of the alpha-1,6-glucosidic linkages in glycogen by scission of a 1,4-alpha-linked oligosaccharide from growing alpha-1,4-glucan chains and the subsequent attachment of the oligosaccharide to the alpha-1,6 position. Has a preference for transferring chains of 5 to 16 glucose units
Gene Name:
glgB
Locus Tag:
PA2153
Molecular weight:
82.6 kDa
Reactions
Transfers a segment of a (1->4)-alpha-D-glucan chain to a primary hydroxy group in a similar glucan chain.
Protein Details
• Glycogen phosphorylase
General function:
Involved in phosphorylase activity
Specific function:
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
Gene Name:
glgP
Locus Tag:
PA2144
Molecular weight:
92 kDa
Reactions
(1,4-alpha-D-glucosyl)(n) + phosphate = (1,4-alpha-D-glucosyl)(n-1) + alpha-D-glucose 1-phosphate.
