Late Presentation of McArdle's Disease Mimicking Polymyalgia Rheumatica: A Case Report and Review of the Literature. [PDF]
McArdle disease or glycogen storage disease Type V is a genetic condition caused by PYGM gene mutations leading to exercise intolerance and fatigability. The condition most commonly presents in childhood. In rare cases, patients have presented with late‐onset McArdle disease.

Lafora disease offers a unique window into neuronal glycogen metabolism [PDF]
Lafora disease (LD) is a fatal, autosomal recessive, glycogen-storage disorder that manifests as severe epilepsy. LD results from mutations in the gene encoding either the glycogen phosphatase laforin or the E3 ubiquitin ligase malin. Individuals with LD

Glycogen storage disease Type III (GSD III) is an autosomal recessive disease due to the deficiency of the debranching enzyme, which has two main consequences: a reduced availability of glucose due to the incomplete degradation of glycogen, and the ...

An extracellular cell-attached pullulanase confers branched α-glucan utilization in human gut Lactobacillus acidophilus [PDF]
Of the few predicted extracellular glycan-active enzymes, glycoside hydrolase family 13 subfamily 14 (GH13_14) pullulanases are the most common in human gut lactobacilli.

Comparative genomic and phylogenetic analyses of Gammaproteobacterial glg genes traced the origin of the Escherichia coli glycogen glgBXCAP operon to the last common ancestor of the sister orders Enterobacteriales and Pasteurellales. [PDF]
Production of branched α-glucan, glycogen-like polymers is widely spread in the Bacteria domain. The glycogen pathway of synthesis and degradation has been fairly well characterized in the model enterobacterial species Escherichia coli (order ...

Oligosaccharide recognition and binding to the carbohydrate binding module of AMP-activated protein kinase [PDF]
The AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) contains a carbohydrate-binding module (β1-CBM) that is conserved from yeast to mammals. β1-CBM has been shown to localize AMPK to glycogen in intact cells and in vitro.

Purification of Glycogen Debranching Enzyme from Porcine Brain: Evidence for Glycogen Catabolism in the Brain [PDF]
Amylo-1,6-glucosidase from porcine brain was purified to homogeneity by ammonium sulfate fractionation, followed by sequential steps of liquid chromatography on DEAE-Sephacel, Sephacryl S-300, and Super Q. The purified enzyme had both maltooligosaccharide transferase and amylo-1,6-glucosidase activities within a single polypeptide chain, and the ...

Pompe disease (PD) is a monogenic autosomal recessive disorder caused by biallelic pathogenic variants of the GAA gene encoding lysosomal alpha-glucosidase; its loss causes glycogen storage in lysosomes, mainly in the muscular tissue.

Glycogen and its metabolism: some new developments and old themes [PDF]
Glycogen is a branched polymer of glucose that acts as a store of energy in times of nutritional sufficiency for utilization in times of need. Its metabolism has been the subject of extensive investigation and much is known about its regulation by ...
