Abstract excerpt
Disruption of the gene pgil of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which codes for phosphoglucose isomerase, results in a dramatic increase in the amount of intracellular glycogen in early exponential cultures. The level of glucose 6-phosphate was much higher in mutant than in wild-type cells. Phosphorylase a activity and the state of activation of glycogen synthase were also investigated. Phosphorylase a activity was...
