Glycogen
The affinity constant with respect to glycogen was
estimated to be 0.32mg/ml. In saturating concentrations of AMP (1.6 mM), a 9-fold increase in the Km
is observed when the Pi concentration is decreased.
However,
in
lower
AMP
concentrations
(0.8-0.4 mM), this loss of affinity for glycogen is
significantly smaller (Fig. 1) (Table 1). When the
AMP concentration is reduced, a similar effect is
observed. In this case, in a saturating concentration
of Pi (80 raM), the Km for the glycogen ranged from
0.32mg/ml at 1.6mM AMP to 1.6-1.8mg/ml at
400 #M AMP. In non-saturating Pi concentrations,
the decrease in affinity for glycogen is smaller and in
very low Pi concentrations (15 mM), a slight increase
can be seen (Table 1).
In the absence of AMP, both the Vr~ and Km are
strongly affected, reaching values of 0.28 nkat/ml and
5.6 mg/ml, respectively. When the Pi concentration
increases, a slight activation is observed.
In all the cases studied, the straight lines obtained
employing double-reciprocal plots to estimate the
apparent K m for glycogen, showed a lack of cooperativity between substrate binding sites.
Inorganic phosphate
The apparent S0.5 of the Mytilus mantle phosphorylase b for Pt was 7 mM. In high glycogen and
AMP concentrations (24 mg/ml and 1.6-0.8 mM, respectively), the Vm~ is reached at 30 mM Pi and at
40 mM Pi when the AMP concentration is decreased
to 0.4 mM. However, in low glycogen concentrations
