Glycogen metabolism in mammalian skeletal muscle is controlled by phosphorylationdephosphorylation reactions that involve three protein kinases and two protein phosphatases. Cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase activates phosphorylase kinase and inactivates glycogen synthetase [glycogen (starch) synthase; EC 2.4. 1.1 11. However, glycogen synthetase is also inactivated by a second enzyme termed glycogen synthetase kinase 2. Glycogen synthetase kinase 2 does not phosphorylate phosphorylase kinase or phosphorylase, and conversely, phosphorylase kinase activates phosphorylase, but does not phosphorylate glycogen synthetase. The dephosphorylation and inactivation of phosphorylase and phosphorylase kinase (through the dephosphorylation of the b-subunit) and the dephosphorylation and re-activation of glycogen synthetase (phosphorylated by either cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase or by glycogen synthetase kinase 2) is catalysed by a single major activity in skeletal muscle, which has been termed protein phosphatase 111. The dephosphorylation of the a-subunit of phosphorylase kinase, which does not directly affect the activity, but converts phosphorylase kinase into a form that is a poorer substrate for protein phosphatase 111, is catalysed by a distinct enzyme, termed protein phosphatase-I1 (Nimmo et al., 1976; Antoniw et a/., 1977; Cohen er al., 1977a; Nimmo & Cohen, 1977). Protein phosphatase I11 activity in vitro is subject to inhibition by two heat-stable proteins that are present in skeletal muscle, termed inhibitor-I and inhibitor-2 (Huang & Glinsmann, 1976). Inhibitor-1 only inhibits protein phosphatase-III after it has been phosphorylated by the action of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, whereas the activity of inhibitor-2 is unaffected by this preincubation (Huang & Glinsniann, 1976). In the present paper we describe the isolation of a pure preparation of inhibitor-I, present its physical and chemical properties and consider its potential importance in the hormonal control of glycogen metabolism.
