CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE UNACTIVATED RIBULOSE 1, 5-BISPHOSPHATE CARBOXYLASE(SLASH)OXYGENASE COMPLEXED WITH A TRANSITION STATE ANALOG, 2-CARBOXY-D-ARABINITOL 1,5-BISPHOSPHATECRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE UNACTIVATED RIBULOSE 1, 5-BISPHOSPHATE CARBOXYLASE(SLASH)OXYGENASE COMPLEXED WITH A TRANSITION STATE ANALOG, 2-CARBOXY-D-ARABINITOL 1,5-BISPHOSPHATE
Structural highlights
FunctionRBS_TOBAC 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. Evolutionary Conservation![]() Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedThe 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.
