General description

D-Ribulose 1,5-Diphosphate Carboxylase (RUBISCO) amounts to 50% of the total spinach leaves associated soluble protein.[1]
Exists as a 557 kDa hexadecamer composed of eight heavy chains each with a molecular weight of approximately 56 kDa and eight light chains of molecular weight 14 kDa. Each molecule contains one magnesium ion.
pH optimum: ~7.9.
KM for CO2: ~0.45 mM.
Ribulose diphosphate becomes inhibitory at concentrations exceeding 0.7 mM. Orthophosphate and ammonium sulfate are competitive inhibitors. 3-Phosphoglycerate is a noncompetitive inhibitor.

Application

D-Ribulose 1,5-Diphosphate Carboxylase from spinach has been used:
  • as a test protein in pepsin digestion studies[2]
  • as an innocuous or non-hazardous protein sample to test its effect on human intestinal epithelial cell lines[3]
  • in isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), and radiolabeled binding assays with abscisic acid[4]

Biochem/physiol Actions

D-Ribulose 1,5-Diphosphate Carboxylase (RUBISCO) depends on Rubisco activase and chaperones for activation.[5] It participates in plant photorespiration events by catalyzing the carboxylation and oxygenation of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate.[1] Abscisic acid inhibits the carboxylation activity of Rubisco.[4]

Unit Definition

One unit will convert 1.0 μmole of D-RuDP and CO2 to 2.0 μmoles of D-3-phosphoglycerate per min at pH 7.8 at 25°C.

Rubisco (ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) carboxylase/oxygenase) enables net carbon fixation through the carboxylation of RuBP. However, some characteristics of Rubisco make it surprisingly inefficient and compromise photosynthetic productivity. For example, Rubisco catalyses a wasteful reaction with oxygen that leads to the release

Although ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) was discovered nearly 60 years ago, the associated chemical mechanism of the reaction is still incompletely understood. The catalytic cycle consists of four major steps: ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate binding, enolization, CO₂ or O₂ addition and hydration, and cleavage

The forward and reverse rate constants involved in carbamylation, activation, carboxylation, and inhibition of D-ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO) have been estimated by a new technique of simultaneous non-linear regression of a differential equation kinetic model to multiple experimental data.

Rationale. Evaluation of the potential allergenicity of proteins derived from genetically modified foods has involved a weight of evidence approach that incorporates an evaluation of protein digestibility in pepsin. Currently, there is no standardized protocol to assess the digestibility of

Cyanobacteria are the globally dominant photoautotrophic lineage. Their success is dependent on a set of adaptations collectively termed the CO2-concentrating mechanism (CCM). The purpose of the CCM is to support effective CO2 fixation by enhancing the chemical conditions in the
