Abstract excerpt
Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) catalyzes the fixation of CO2 in photosynthesis. Despite its pivotal role, Rubisco is an inefficient enzyme and thus is a key target for directed evolution. Rubisco biogenesis depends on auxiliary factors, including the GroEL/ES-type chaperonin for folding and the chaperone RbcX for assembly. Here we performed directed evolution of cyanobacterial form I...
