ABSTRACT
Glycogen phosphorylase (1,4-alpha-D-glucanorthophosphate-alpha-D-glucosyl transferase, EC 2.4.1.1) was partially purified from two bivalves found in different habitats, viz. Villorita cyprenoides, an estuarine bivalve, and Sunetta scripta, a marine bivalve, and their properties compared with other animal phosphorylases. While the kinetic mechanism was same as that of phosphorylases from other animal sources, it differed in the control mechanism from other phosphorylases. The observed differences support the earlier finding that the control mechanism adopted by different animals is dependent on the evolutionary status and energy needs.
