GYG1
geneOn this page
Summary
GYG1 (glycogenin 1, HGNC:4699) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 3q24, encoding Glycogenin-1 (P46976). Glycogenin participates in the glycogen biosynthetic process along with glycogen synthase and glycogen branching enzyme.
This gene encodes a member of the glycogenin family. Glycogenin is a glycosyltransferase that catalyzes the formation of a short glucose polymer from uridine diphosphate glucose in an autoglucosylation reaction. This reaction is followed by elongation and branching of the polymer, catalyzed by glycogen synthase and branching enzyme, to form glycogen. This gene is expressed in muscle and other tissues. Mutations in this gene result in glycogen storage disease XV. This gene has pseudogenes on chromosomes 1, 8 and 13 respectively. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 13)
- Results show that glycogenin becomes inactivated with glycogen catabolism and that this event coincides with an increase in glycogenin gene expression as exercise and glycogenolysis progress. (PMID:15860684)
- during recovery from prolonged exhaustive exercise, glycogenin mRNA and protein content and activity increase in muscle (PMID:15870102)
- GN-1 is conserved, possibly as very small, or nascent, granules when glycogen concentration is low. This would provide the ability to rapidly restore glycogen during early recovery. (PMID:17311895)
- results explain the glycogen depletion in the patient expressing only Thr83Met glycogenin-1 and why heterozygous carriers without clinical symptoms show a small proportion of unglucosylated glycogenin-1 (PMID:22198226)
- The glucosylation of glycogenin-2 was enhanced to 2-4 glucose units by the co-presence of enzymatically active glycogenin-1. (PMID:24239874)
- Depletion of glycogenin-1 and impaired interaction with glycogen synthase underlies a new form of glycogen storage disease. (PMID:25272951)
- This study found a single homozygous intronic mutation of GYG1 harbored by five patients, who, except for two siblings, appear to be unrelated but all five live in central or south Sardinian villages. (PMID:26652229)
- We present functional evidence for the pathogenicity of a novel GYG1 missense mutation located in the substrate binding domain. (PMID:29143313)
- we screened the susceptibility loci for Myocardial infarction (MI) using exome sequencing and validated candidate variants in replication sets. We identified that three genes (GYG1, DIS3L and DDRGK1) were associated with MI at the discovery and replication stages. (PMID:29321365)
- palladium-mediated enzyme activation suggests multiphase initiation of glycogenesis (PMID:30356213)
- Glycogenin is at the core of glycogen’s structure and initiates its glucopolymerization.[review] (PMID:31689353)

Function. Glycogenin participates in the glycogen biosynthetic process along with glycogen synthase and glycogen branching enzyme. It catalyzes the formation of a short alpha (1,4)-glucosyl chain covalently attached via a glucose 1-O-tyrosyl linkage to internal tyrosine residues and these chains act as primers for the elongation reaction catalyzed by glycogen synthase.
Subunit / interactions. Part of the GYS1-GYG1 complex, a heterooctamer composed of a tetramer of GYS1 and 2 dimers of GYG1, where each GYS1 protomer binds to one GYG1 subunit (via GYG1 C-terminus); the GYS1 tetramer may dissociate from GYG1 dimers to continue glycogen polymerization on its own. May also form a heterooctamer complex with GYS2 (via GYG1 C-terminus).
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Nucleus.
Tissue specificity. Highly expressed in skeletal muscle and heart, with lower levels in brain, lung, kidney and pancreas.
Post-translational modifications. Self-glycosylated by the transfer of glucose residues from UDP-glucose to itself, forming an alpha-1,4-glycan of around 10 residues attached to Tyr-195. Phosphorylated.
Disease relevance. Glycogen storage disease 15 (GSD15) [MIM:613507] A metabolic disorder resulting in muscle weakness, associated with the glycogen depletion in skeletal muscle, and cardiac arrhythmia, associated with the accumulation of abnormal storage material in the heart. The skeletal muscle shows a marked predominance of slow-twitch, oxidative muscle fibers and mitochondrial proliferation. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Polyglucosan body myopathy 2 (PGBM2) [MIM:616199] A glycogen storage disease characterized by polyglucosan accumulation in muscle, and skeletal myopathy without cardiac involvement. Most patients manifest slowly progressive, hip girdle, shoulder girdle, and/or hand and leg muscle weakness. Polyglucosan contains abnormally long and poorly branched glucosyl chains and is variably resistant to digestion by alpha-amylase. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Activity regulation. Inhibited by palladium ions.
Cofactor. Divalent metal ions. Required for self-glucosylation. Manganese is the most effective.
Pathway. Glycan biosynthesis; glycogen biosynthesis.
Similarity. Belongs to the glycosyltransferase 8 family. Glycogenin subfamily.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 61 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
