RUBISCO FROM CHLAMYDOMONAS REINHARDTII
Overview
The crystal structure of Rubisco (ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate, carboxylase/oxygenase) from the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas, reinhardtii has been determined to 1.4 A resolution. Overall, the, structure shows high similarity to the previously determined structures of, L8S8 Rubisco enzymes. The largest difference is found in the loop between, beta strands A and B of the small subunit (betaA-betaB loop), which is, longer by six amino acid residues than the corresponding region in Rubisco, from Spinacia. Mutations of residues in the betaA-betaB loop have been, shown to affect holoenzyme stability and catalytic properties. The, information contained in the Chlamydomonas structure enables a more, reliable analysis of the effect of these mutations. No electron density, was observed for the ... [(full description)]
