Deficiency in phosphorylase phosphatase activity despite elevated protein phosphatase type-1 catalytic subunit in skeletal muscle from insulin-resistant subjects.

Abstract: Glycogen synthase is activated by protein phosphatase type-i (PP-1). The spontaneous PP-1 activity accounts for only a small fraction of total PP-1 activity, which can be exposed by trypsin digestion of inhibitor proteins in the presence of Mn2+. We determined total PP-1 activity in muscle biopsies from insulin-sensitive and -resistant nondiabetic Pima Indians. Inhibitor-2 sensitive PP-1 represented 90% oftotal phosphatase activity. Spontaneous and total PP-1 activities were reduced in insulin resistant subjec… Show more

“…However, the present study shows that first-degree relatives of NIDDM patients also have increased basal GLUT-4 mRNA concentrations, provided they are insulin resistant and not insulin sensitive. This is in accordance with the finding of increased expression of protein phosphatase 1 and insulin receptor substrate i in the basal state in skeletal muscle of insulin-resistant subjects [23,24]. In fact, a tendency towards high basal GLUT-4 mRNA levels in NIDDM patients was also shown by Garvey et al [14].…”

“…Activity of PP1 was shown to be reduced in skeletal muscle of insulin-resistant Pima Indians (39,40), but not in type 2 diabetic subjects (15). H o w e v e r, no differences in expression of PP1 catalytic subunit were found in insulin-resistant subjects (41). Thus, impaired activity of PP1 could be expected to result from derangement in control of its activity by regulatory subunits.…”

“…The phosphorylated GPa was separated from remaining [γ-$$P]ATP by Ultrafree-MC filters (10 000 NMWL Filter Unit) in an Eppendorf centrifuge. The rotor was operated for 60 min at 4 mC and 2000 g. Radiolabelled substrate [$$P]GPa was dephosphorylated according to Nyomba et al [29]. Dephosphorylation was carried out by incubating the radiolabelled GPa with 0.1 unit of rabbit skeletal-muscle PP1 for 5 min at 30 mC in a buffer containing 50 mM Tris, 1.0 mM EDTA, 12.5 mM β-mercaptoethanol and 0.5 mg\ml BSA (pH 7.0-7.5) in a final volume of 70 µl.…”
