Ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase large chain

UniProtKB accession:  O85040

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  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. Both reactions occur simultaneously and in competition at the same active site (By similarity) (Ref.3, PubMed:18258595, PubMed:18974784). There are estimated to be 270 RuBisCO heterohexadecamers per carboxysome (Ref.6).
