Role of the small subunit in ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase.

Archives of biochemistry and biophysics - 15 Jun 2003

Spreitzer Robert J

Abstract excerpt

Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) catalyzes the rate-limiting step of CO2 fixation in photosynthesis, but O2 competes with CO2 for substrate ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate, leading to the loss of fixed carbon. Interest in genetically engineering improvements in carboxylation catalytic efficiency and CO2/O2 specificity has focused on the chloroplast-encoded large subunit because it contains the...
