title: Effect of cyclic AMP on glycogen phosphorylase in Coprinus macrorhizus.
abstract: Glycogen phosphorylase (1,4-alpha-D-glucan:orthophosphate alpha-glucosyltransfase, EC 2.4.1.1) activity was found in mycelial extracts of Coprinus macrorhizus concurrently with decrease of glycogen content in mycelial cells. Incubation of the enzyme sample with cyclic AMP and ATP leads to a 3-fold activation of the glucogen phosphorylase activity. Activation of the enzyme partially purified through Sepharose 6B required a cellular fraction containing cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase.
