The glycogen-branching enzyme catalyzes: none of the above. glycogen degradation in branches of most types of trees. formation of (?1-6) linkages during glycogen synthesis. removal of unneeded glucose residues at the nonreducing ends of branches. formation of (?1-4) linkages in glycogen.

Glycogen synthase catalyzes glycogen synthesis. Determine whether each of the following is associated with an increase or decrease in glycogen synthase activity. Increased glycogen synthase activity: Decreased glycogen synthase activity: 1) Activation of phosphoprotein phosphatase PP1 2) Phosphorylation (inactivation) of phosphoprotein phosphatase 1 (PP1) by PKA 3) Subunit dissociation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) 4) Phosphorylation of glycogen synthase 5) Insulin 6) Phosphorylation of glycogen synthase kinase (GSK, or GSK3)

In glycogen metabolism, the enzyme that breaks α-1,4 glycosidic bonds, makes α-1,4 glycosidic bonds, and breaks α-1,6 glycosidic bonds is • glycogen phosphorylase • debranching enzyme • glycogen synthase • branching enzyme What form of glucose is used as a substrate by glycogen synthase to add a glucose unit to an existing branch of glycogen • glucose • glucose 1-phosphate • glucose 6-phosphate • UDP-glucose One strategy (mentioned by me in the lecture) used by individuals with McArdle disease (defective glycogen phosphorylase in muscle) to be able to perform strenuous exercise is • gene therapy to insert the functional form of glycogen phosphorylase • drinking a sugar/water slurry at a specified time before exercise • taking aspirin to increase blood flow to the muscle • taking a glycogen synthase inhibitor to decrease the amount of glycogen
