Short Name | Rubisco-cyt_methylase_MET |
description | This group represents a predicted rubisco-cytochrome methylase, MET type.Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) is the key enzyme in photosynthetic carbon assimilation. The enzyme is composed of large (rbcL) and small (rbcS) subunits, and has been found in algae, cryptophytes and land plants. This entry represents the small subunit, N-methyltransferase I, of Rubisco from cryptophytes. Cryptophytes posses a DNA-containing nucleomorph in addition to a nucleus, mitochondria and plastids; these dwarf nucleomorphs are remnants of red-algae symbionts [, ]. |
