Disease relevance of GLC3

  • Human hepatoma cell line HepG2-derived cDNA libraries using the pAB23BXN yeast expression vector yielded four cDNAs capable of complementing the glc3::TRP1 glycogen branching enzyme mutation [1].
 

High impact information on GLC3

  • Indeed, glycogen branching activity was undetectable in extracts from a glc3-1p strain but was elevated in strains which expressed GLC3 from a high-copy-number plasmid [2].
  • Disruption of GLC3 yielded the glycogen-deficient phenotype, indicating that glycogen deficiency is the null phenotype [2].
  • From the data on GLC3, there may be a suppression of recombination near the chromosome V centromere, at least in some strains [3].
