The form of protein phosphatase-1 associated with hepatic glycogen (PP1G) was purified to
near homogeneity from rat liver by affinity chromatography on microcystin-Sepharose and
gel-filtration. The enzyme is a heterodimer consisting of the catalytic subunit of PP1 (the α
and β isoforms) complexed to a 33 kDa glycogen-binding (GL) subunit. The GL subunit
binds phosphorylase a with high affinity, and is responsible for the enhanced
dephosphorylation of glycogen synthase by PP1G and its allosteric inhibition by …
