The crystal structure of Rubisco (ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase) from the unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has been determined to 1.4 Å resolution. Overall, the structure shows high similarity to the previously determined structures of L8S8 Rubisco enzymes. The largest difference is found in the loop between β strands A and B of the small subunit (βA-βB loop), which is longer by six amino acid residues than the corresponding region in Rubisco fromSpinacia. Mutations of residues in the βA-βB loop have been shown to affect holoenzyme stability and catalytic properties. The information contained in the Chlamydomonasstructure enables a more reliable analysis of the effect of these mutations. No electron density was observed for the last 13 residues of the small subunit, which are assumed to be disordered in the crystal. Because of the high resolution of the data, some posttranslational modifications are unambiguously apparent in the structure. These include cysteine and N-terminal methylations and proline 4-hydroxylations.
