The substrate specificity factor, VcKo/ V o Kc, of spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase was determined at ribulosebisphosphate concentrations between 0.63 and 200 gM, at pH values between 7.4 and 8.9, and at temperatures in the range of 5 ~ C to 40 ~ C. The

The prochlorophytes, oxygenic photosynthetic prokaryotes having no phycobiliprotein but possessing chlorophylls a and b, have been proposed to have a common ancestry with green chloroplasts, yet this is still controversal. We report here that partial sequence comparisons of the large subunit of ribu
Improved methods for the activation and assay of D-ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase and oxygenase are described. The importance of fully activating the enzyme before starting either reaction is emphasized. The enzyme is activated by preincubation with 20 mM M&l, and 10 mM NaHCO,, pH 8.6. To avo
Rhodopseudomonas capsulata produces both an intermediate (I) and a large (L) form of ribulose-l,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase. Both forms are derepressed under CO2-1imiting conditions. The L-form of the enzyme is completely repressed when the culture is grown either photoautotrophically or ph
The small subunit (S SU) of Rubisco is synthesized in the cytosol in a precursor form. Upon import into the chloroplast, it is proteolytically processed at a Cys-Met bond to yield the mature form of the protein. To assess the importance of the Met residue for recognition and processing by the stroma
