Abstract excerpt
Most life is ultimately sustained by photosynthesis and its rate-limiting carbon fixing enzyme, ribulose-1,5-bis-phosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco). Although the structurally comparable cyanobacterial Rubisco is amenable to in vitro assembly, the higher plant enzyme has been refractory to such manipulation due to poor understanding of its assembly pathway. Here, we report the identification of a...
