  1. ncbi The phosphatase laforin crosses evolutionary boundaries and links carbohydrate metabolism to neuronal disease
    Matthew S Gentry
    Department of Pharmacology, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, CA 92093, USA
    J Cell Biol 178:477-88. 2007
    ..Finally, we show that laforins and SEX4 dephosphorylate a complex carbohydrate and form the only family of phosphatases with this activity. These results provide a molecular explanation for the etiology of LD...
  2. ncbi A role for AGL ubiquitination in the glycogen storage disorders of Lafora and Cori's disease
    Alan Cheng
    Department of Internal Medicine, Life Sciences Institute, University of Michigan Medical Center, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109, USA
    Genes Dev 21:2399-409. 2007
    ..Taken together, these results indicate that binding to glycogen crucially regulates the stability of AGL and, further, that its ubiquitination may play an important role in the pathophysiology of both Lafora and Cori's disease...
  3. ncbi Malin decreases glycogen accumulation by promoting the degradation of protein targeting to glycogen (PTG)
    Carolyn A Worby
    Department of Pharmacology, University of California at San Diego, La Jolla, California 92093 0721, USA
    J Biol Chem 283:4069-76. 2008
    ..These results suggest an additional mechanism, involving laforin and malin, in regulating glycogen metabolism...

    ..Thus, Grb2 may function in a cellular decision point for transducing the incoming signals...
  5. ncbi Sorting out the cellular functions of sorting nexins
    Carolyn A Worby
    Department of Biological Chemistry, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan 48109, USA
    Nat Rev Mol Cell Biol 3:919-31. 2002
    ..It will be interesting to determine whether the various sorting nexins have specialized or generalized roles in protein trafficking...

    J Biol Chem 277:9422-8. 2002
    ..These results suggest that the phosphorylation of DSH3PX1 by DAck targets this sorting nexin to a protein complex that includes Dock, an adaptor protein important for axonal guidance...
