CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF RUBISCO FROM CHLAMYDOMONAS REINHARDTII WITH A LARGE-SUBUNIT V331A MUTATION

Overview

The loop between alpha-helix 6 and beta-strand 6 in the alpha/beta-barrel, of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase plays a key role in, discriminating between CO2 and O2. Genetic screening in Chlamydomonas, reinhardtii previously identified a loop-6 V331A substitution that, decreases carboxylation and CO2/O2 specificity. Revertant selection, identified T342I and G344S substitutions that restore photosynthetic, growth by increasing carboxylation and specificity of the V331A enzyme. In, numerous X-ray crystal structures, loop 6 is closed or open depending on, the activation state of the enzyme and the presence or absence of ligands., The carboxy terminus folds over loop 6 in the closed state. To study the, molecular basis for catalysis, directed mutagenesis and chloroplast, ... [(full description)]
