This entry covers several enzymes from different sources that act in vivo on different forms of (1->4)-alpha-D-glucans. Some of these enzymes catalyse the first step in the degradation of large branched glycan polymers - the phosphorolytic cleavage of alpha-1,4-glucosidic bonds from the non-reducing ends of linear poly(1->4)-alpha-D-glucosyl chains within the polymers. The enzyme stops when it reaches the fourth residue away from an alpha-1,6 branching point, leaving a highly branched core known as a limit dextrin. The accepted name of the enzyme should be modified for each specific instance by substituting "glycogen" with the name of the natural substrate, e.g. maltodextrin phosphorylase, starch phosphorylase, etc.

Pho1 not only degrades maltohexaose but also extends them to synthesize longer malto-oligosaccharides, production of a broad spectrum of MOSs (G4-G19) is stimulated both by phosphate and alpha-D-glucose 1-phosphate

Pho1 activity is strongly competitively inhibited by product phosphate in the synthesis reaction when amylopectin is the primer substrate, but this inhibition is less pronounced when short alpha-glucan chains are used as primers
seedlings of one and two weeks. When putting two weeks old seedlings under submerge conditions, enzyme activity rises steadily and reaches a maximum after 144 h and declines thereafter
loss of Pho1 causes smaller starch granules to accumulate and modifies the amylopectin structure. Pho1 plays a crucial role in starch biosynthesis in rice endosperm at low temperatures. One or more other factors can complement the function of Pho1 at high temperatures
plants contain two major Pho forms: the plastidial Pho1 or PhoL (low glycogen affinity) encoded by the PHO1 gene and a cytosolic Pho2 or PhoH (high glycogen affinity) encoded by the PHO2 gene
the endosperm-specific plastidial alpha-glucan phosphorylase is important for synthesis of short-chain malto-oligosaccharides, it has an essential role during the initiation process of starch biosynthesis during rice seed development
