General description
D-Ribulose 1,5-Diphosphate Carboxylase (RUBISCO) amounts to 50% of the total spinach leaves associated soluble protein.
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
- as an innocuous or non-hazardous protein sample to test its effect on human intestinal epithelial cell lines
- in isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), and radiolabeled binding assays with abscisic acid
Biochem/physiol Actions
D-Ribulose 1,5-Diphosphate Carboxylase (RUBISCO) depends on Rubisco activase and chaperones for activation. It participates in plant photorespiration events by catalyzing the carboxylation and oxygenation of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate. Abscisic acid inhibits the carboxylation activity of Rubisco.
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.

Chloroplasts are the primary energy suppliers for plants, and much of the total leaf nitrogen is distributed to these organelles. During growth and reproduction, chloroplasts in turn represent a major source of nitrogen to be recovered from senescing leaves and

Soft corals of the family Xeniidae exhibit a unique, rhythmic pulsation of their tentacles (Movie S1), first noted by Lamarck nearly 200 y ago. However, the adaptive benefit of this perpetual, energetically costly motion is poorly understood. Using in situ

Oxidative stress and inflammation contribute significantly to atherogenesis. We and others have demonstrated that mildly elevated serum bilirubin levels protect against coronary and peripheral atherosclerosis, most likely due to the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of bilirubin. The aim of the

We present a phylogenetic analysis and comparison of structural features of chloroplast genomes for 39 species of the eucalypt group (genera Eucalyptus, Corymbia, Angophora, and outgroups Allosyncarpia and Stockwellia). We use 41 complete chloroplast genome sequences, adding 39 finished-quality chloroplast
