From: Plant-like substitutions in the large-subunit carboxy terminus of Chlamydomonas Rubisco increase CO2/O2 Specificity

Figure 1

Comparison of structural interactions at the carboxy-terminal/loop-6 interface in the large subunit of Rubisco from (A) Chlamydomonas (1GK8) [9] and (B) spinach (8RUC) [10]. Residues within 4 Ã… of the divergent carboxy-terminal residues 470, 471, 472, and 474 are shown as sticks. The carboxy terminus (yellow), loop 6 (red), and part of a loop in the amino-terminal domain of a neighboring large subunit (blue) are drawn as ribbons. Residues not in these three structural regions are colored green. The location of the active site is denoted by Lys-334 and the transition-state analog CABP. Potential hydrogen and ionic bonds are indicated by red and black dotted lines, respectively, connecting the participating atoms.
