High impact information on phosphorylase

• It activates a protein kinase that may be involved in activation of glycogen phosphorylase and phosphofructokinase [1].
• Activities of glycogen phosphorylase, alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase in adult worms of Litomosoides carinii recovered from pyridoxine deficient cotton rats (Sigmodon hispidus) [2].
• Pyrimidine nucleosides were, in general, converted to the bases by a phosphorylase reaction but only uracil and thymine could form nucleosides in the reverse reaction [3].
• The activity of alpha-amylase, glucoamylase, maltase, trehalase, glycogen phosphorylase and trehalose phosphorylase was measured in extracts from larval and adult Hysterothylacium aduncum (Rudolphi, 1802), parasitic nematode of marine fish [4].
• The enzymes are classified as type 2A phosphatases according to their inhibition by subnanomolar concentrations of okadaic acid, the lack of inhibition by heat-stable phosphatase inhibitors 1 and 2, and their preference for the alpha- rather than for the beta-subunit of phosphorylase kinase [5].
