Activity: Ribulose-bisphosphate carboxylase, with EC number 4.1.1.39 Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function [RBL_TOBAC] RuBisCO catalyzes two reactions: the carboxylation of D-ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate, the primary event in carbon dioxide fixation, as well as the oxidative fragmentation of the pentose substrate in the photorespiration process. Both reactions occur simultaneously and in competition at the same active site.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01338] [RBS_TOBAC] RuBisCO catalyzes two reactions: the carboxylation of D-ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate, the primary event in carbon dioxide fixation, as well as the oxidative fragmentation of the pentose substrate.

Publication Abstract from PubMed The crystal structure is described of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase in a new crystal form. This new form (form V) was obtained from a previously known crystal form (form III) through a solid-state phase transition. The solid-state phase transition was brought about by transferring the crystal from a high-salt low-pH mother liquor to a low-salt high-pH synthetic mother liquor. The interplay of electrostatic repulsion and osmotic pressure induced a unit-cell shrinkage of 24 A along the c axis and expansion of 4 A along the a and b axes. The space group also changed from I422 to I4. The new crystal form was shown to be more resistant to X-ray radiation damage, which suggests the effect of crystal stabilization by non-penetrating molecules. The structure of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase in the new crystal form is compared with that of the old crystal form.
