The crystal structure of unactivated ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase from Nicotiana tabacum complexed with a transition state analog, 2-carboxy-D-arabinitol 1,5-bisphosphate, was determined to 2.7 A resolution by X-ray crystallography. The transition state analog binds at the active site in an extended conformation. As compared to the binding of the same analog in the activated enzyme, the analog binds in a reverse orientation. The active site Lys 201 is within hydrogen bonding distance of the carboxyl oxygen of the analog. Loop 6 (residues 330-339) remains open and flexible upon binding of the analog in the unactivated enzyme, in contrast to the closed and ordered loop 6 in the activated enzyme complex. The transition state analog is exposed to solvent due to the open conformation of loop 6.
