RUBISCO FROM GALDIERIA PARTITA
Overview
Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) catalyzes the, reactions of carboxylation and oxygenation of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate., These reactions require that the active site should be closed by a, flexible loop (loop 6) of the large subunit. Rubisco from a red alga, Galdieria partita, has the highest specificity for carboxylation reaction, among the Rubiscos hitherto reported. The crystal structure of unactivated, Galdieria Rubisco has been determined at 2.6 A resolution. The electron, density map reveals that a sulfate binds only to the P1 anion-binding site, of the active site and the loop 6 is closed. Galdieria Rubisco has a, unique hydrogen bond between the main chain oxygen of Val332 on the loop 6, and the epsilon-amino group of Gln386 of the same large subunit. This, interaction is likely to be crucial to understanding for stabilizing the, loop 6 in the closed state and to making a higher affinity for anionic, ligands.
