A critical arginine in the large subunit of ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase identified by site-directed mutagenesis.

The Journal of biological chemistry - 5 Apr 1990

Haining R L, McFadden B A

Abstract excerpt

Rapid inactivation by phenylglyoxal of ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (ribulose-P2 carboxylase) from the cyanobacterium Anacystis nidulans suggests the presence of an essential arginine, the modification of which is reduced in the presence of the substrate ribulose bisphosphate. Arginine 292 in the large subunit of ribulose-P2 carboxylase from A. nidulans was chosen for site-directed mutagenesis...
