title: Ligand effects on the dephosphorylation of heart and skeletal muscle specific phosphorylases.
abstract: Pseudo first order rate constants were determined for the dephosphorylation of heart and skeletal muscle specific phosphorylase a isoenzymes isolated from rabbit and pig using rabbit muscle phosphorylase phosphatase (mol. wt 34,000). The rate constants determined in the absence of ligands, were 4-5 fold lower for heart specific phosphorylases than for skeletal muscle specific ones. Glucose 6-phosphate (0.5-1 mM) enhances the rate of dephosphorylation of heart specific isophosphorylases 3-fold and suspends inhibition by 10(-5) M AMP, however, it has no significant effect on the dephosphorylation of skeletal muscle specific enzymes under the same conditions. Our data support characteristic functional differences between heart and skeletal muscle specific phosphorylases both in rabbit and pig.
