description | Ribulose-1,5-bis-phosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) is the rate-limiting carbon fixing enzyme of photosynthesis. Rubisco is a complex of eight large (RbcL) and eight small (RbcS) subunits that requires assembly chaperones. Rubisco accumulation factor 1 (Raf1) is a mayor chaperone involved in Rubisco assembly []. It acts downstream of chaperonin-assisted RbcL folding by stabilizing RbcL antiparallel dimers for assembly into RbcL8 complexes with four Raf1 dimers bound. Raf1 displacement by RbcS results in holoenzyme formation [, ]. It might regulate RuBisCO condensation and decondensation [].This protein family includes Raf1 proteins from cyanobacteria. |
