Allosteric properties of yeast glycogen synthetase. I. General kinetic study

Yeast glycogen synthetase (uridine diphosphate glucose:glycogen α-4-glucosyltransferase, EC 2.4.1.11) is moderately stimulated by glucose 6-phosphate at neutral pH. Addition of certain anions at relatively high concentrations (0.1-0.2 M) inhibits the enzyme, but glucose 6-phosphate reverses the inhi...

A tentative model of the enzyme, compatible with the results, includes a single site for each substrate, an unspecific site for an activating ion, and several sites for both glucose 6-phosphate and the allosteric inhibitor.
