Abstract excerpt
A recent X-ray crystal structure of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase from the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii lacks 13 carboxy-terminal residues of the small subunit. To determine the importance of this divergent region, a non-sense mutation was created that removes nine residues. This engineered gene was transformed into a Chlamydomonas strain that lacks the small-subunit gene family. The...
