The multifunctional movement protein (MP) of Tomato mosaic tobamovirus (ToMV) is involved in viral cell-to-cell movement, symptom development, and resistance gene recognition. However, it remains to be elucidated how ToMV MP plays such diverse roles in plants. Here, we show that ToMV MP interacts
Plastomic replacement of the tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) Rubisco large subunit gene (rbcL) with that from sunflower (Helianthus annuus; rbcL(S)) produced tobacco(Rst) transformants that produced a hybrid Rubisco consisting of sunflower large and tobacco small subunits (L(s)S(t)). The tobacco(Rst)
Leaf metabolites, adenylates, and Rubisco activation were studied in two transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv W38) types. Plants with reduced amounts of cytochrome b/f complex (anti-b/f) have impaired electron transport and a low transthylakoid pH gradient that restrict ATP and NADPH
The ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/ oxygenase (Rubisco) large subunit (LS) ɛ N-methyltransferase (Rubisco LSMT) catalyzes post-translational methylation of the ɛ-amino group of lysine-14 in the LS of Rubisco. The entire nucleotide sequence for the tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum)
Transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. W38) plants with an antisense gene directed against the mRNA of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/ oxygenase (Rubisco) activase were used to examine the relationship between CO2-assimilation rate, Rubisco carbamylation and activase content. Plants
Antibodies have been one of the proteins widely expressed in tobacco plants for pharmaceutical purposes, which demand contaminant free preparations. Rubisco constitutes 40-60% of tobacco leaf soluble proteins; therefore it is the major potential protein contaminant of plantibodies, while mycotoxins
The regulation of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) activity by 2-carboxyarabinitol 1-phosphate (CA1P) was investigated using gas-exchange analysis of antisense tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) plants containing reduced levels of Rubisco activase. When an increase in light flux
In studies about the photosynthesis response to environmental stresses, such as drought, the Rubisco specificity factor (tau) is assumed to be constant or derived indirectly from gas exchange measurements. However, an analysis of the acclimation of tau to drought using in vitro determinations is
Spinach Rubisco (ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase) large (rbcL) and small (rbcS) subunits were separated by SDS-PAGE, and protein amount and purity were determined by Bradford assay. Polyclonal antibodies against rbcL and rbcS subunit were generated in female BALB/c mice and had no
Thermostable fusion peptide partners are valuable in engineering thermostability in proteins. We evaluated the Arabidopsis counterpart (AtRAce) and an acidified derivative (mRAce) of the conserved carboxyl extension (RAce) of plant Rubisco activase (RCA) for their thermostabilizing properties in
In photosynthesis Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) catalyses the often rate limiting CO2-fixation step in the Calvin cycle. This makes Rubisco both the gatekeeper for carbon entry into the biosphere and a target for functional improvement to enhance photosynthesis and plant
Rubisco, the enzyme that catalyzes the fixation of atmospheric CO(2) in photosynthesis, is subject to inactivation by inhibitory sugar phosphates. Here we report the 2.95-Å crystal structure of Nicotiana tabacum Rubisco activase (Rca), the enzyme that facilitates the removal of these inhibitors. Rca
An electron density map of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase (Rubisco) from tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) has been obtained by X-ray crystallography at a nominal resolution of 0.34 nm. Phases were determined by multiple isomorphous replacement with three heavy atom derivatives and then
Rubisco activase plays an important role in the regulation of CO(2) assimilation. However, it is unknown how activase regulates photosystem II (PSII) photochemistry. To investigate the effects of Rubisco activase on PSII photochemistry, we obtained transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) plants with
Complete replacement, by biolistic plastid transformation, of the hexadecameric ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) with the dimeric version from the bacterium, Rhodospirillum rubrum, resulted in fully autotrophic and reproductive tobacco plants
