Most proteins must fold into precise three-dimensional conformations to fulfill their biological
functions. Here we review recent concepts emerging from studies of protein folding in vitro …

Abstract Rubisco (ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate (RuBP) carboxylase/oxygenase) enables net
carbon fixation through the carboxylation of RuBP. However, some characteristics of …

Cells use compartmentalization of enzymes as a strategy to regulate metabolic pathways
and increase their efficiency. The α-and β-carboxysomes of cyanobacteria contain ribulose …

In photosynthetic organisms, d-ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase
(Rubisco) is the major enzyme assimilating atmospheric CO2 into the biosphere. Owing to …

Plant RuBisCo, a complex of eight large and eight small subunits, catalyzes the fixation of
CO2 in photosynthesis. The low catalytic efficiency of RuBisCo provides strong motivation to …

Ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) mediates the fixation of
atmospheric CO2 in photosynthesis by catalyzing the carboxylation of the 5-carbon sugar …

Highlights•Alpha and beta carboxysomes differ in composition, assembly, and
evolution.•Alphas appear to co-assemble shell and cargo proteins; betas assemble inside …

There is a growing impetus in develo** novel strategies to address global concerns
regarding food security. As crop productivity gains through traditional breeding begin to lag …

The uncertainty of future climate change is placing pressure on crop** systems to
continue to provide stable increases in productive yields. To mitigate future climates and the …

The threat to global food security of stagnating yields and population growth makes
increasing crop productivity a critical goal over the coming decades. One key target for …
