Do the enzymes in glycogenolysis have to be phosphorylated or dephosphorylated to work?
They are active when they are phosphorylated and inactive when they are dephosphorylated.
What is made when glucagon binds to its receptor?
Cyclic AMP
What does protein kinase A do?
It phosphorylates and thereby activates phosphorylase kinase which then phosphorylates glycogen phosphorylase and activates it to make free glucose by glycogenolysis
What happens when insulin binds to its receptor in the well fed state?
It activates a kinase that phosphorylates protein phosphatase I which will 1) take off the phosphate on glycogen synthase thereby activating and 2) take the phosphates off phosphorylase kinase and glycogen phosphorylase thereby inactiving the enzymes for glycogenolysis
Which enzyme inhibits glycogenolysis?
protein phosphatase I
What three things does protein kinase A do in response to glucagon binding its receptor in the fasting state?
1) activates glycogenolysis by phosphorylating phosphorylase kinase which then phosphorylates glycogen phosphorylase and with the help of debranching enzymes it breaks down glycogen into free glucose 2) stops glycogen synthesis by phosphorylating glycogen synthase and thereby inactivating it 3) blocks an enzyme that would just reverse all of this work by phosphorylating an inhibitor protein on protein phosphatase I

Gluconeogenesis goes up and glycolysis goes down
What happens to fructose 2,6 bisphosphate levels when insulin is around? Which parts of the enzyme are active and inactive?
Fuctose 2,6 bisphosphate levels are up because the enzyme is in the dephosphorylated state and the kinase is active but the phosphatase is inactive so fructose 6 phosphate is being converted to fructose 2,6 bisphosphate
What happens to fructose 2,6 bisphosphate levels when glucagon is around? Which parts of the enzyme are active and inactive?
Fuctose 2,6 bisphosphate levels go down because the enzyme is phosphorylated by protein kinase A from activation by cAMP so now the kinase is inactive and the phosphatase is active so fructose 2,6 bisphosphate will be converted into fuctose 6 phosphate and gluconeogenesis will occur
