Isolation, characterization and expression ofcDNA and genomic sequences encoding ribulosebisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase activase from barley

Ribulosebisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (EC 4.1.1.39, rubisco) catalyzes either the carboxylation or oxygenation of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) to initiate either the Calvin cycle or the photorespiratory pathway. Rubisco needs to be activated in order to catalyze these reactions. Rubisco activation involves the binding of an activator CO$\sb2$ to a lysine residue near but not at the active site of the enzyme, followed by binding of Mg$\sp{2+}$. Rubisco activase is a nuclear-encoded chloroplast protein involved in the activation of rubisco.
