Progress and challenges of engineering a biophysical carbon dioxide concentrating mechanism into higher plants:Engineering biophysical CCMs into higher plants [PDF]
, 2017 Growth and productivity in important crop plants is limited by the inefficiencies of the C3 photosynthetic pathway. Introducing CO2-concentrating mechanisms (CCMs) into C3 plants could overcome these limitations and lead to increased yields.

Rubisco Activases: AAA+ Chaperones Adapted to Enzyme Repair [PDF]
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2017 Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco), the key enzyme of the Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle of photosynthesis, requires conformational repair by Rubisco activase for efficient function. Rubisco mediates the fixation of atmospheric CO2 by catalyzing the carboxylation of the five-carbon sugar ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP).

Functional hybrid rubisco enzymes with plant small subunits and algal large subunits: engineered rbcS cDNA for expression in chlamydomonas. [PDF]
, 2010 There has been much interest in the chloroplast-encoded large subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) as a target for engineering an increase in net CO(2) fixation in photosynthesis.

Exploring Genetic Diversity in Rubisco Activase
, 2023 Via photosynthesis, plants are the most important point of entry for energy into the biosphere. The Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle is the part of the photosynthetic process responsible for carbon assimilation, which is done by Rubisco. Rubisco activase (Rca) acts as an activator of Rubisco, removing inhibitory sugar phosphates.

Coordinate Expression of Rubisco Activase and Rubisco during Barley Leaf Cell Development [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1989 We have utilized the cellular differentiation gradient and photomorphogenic responses of the first leaf of 7-day-old barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) to examine the accumulation of mRNA and protein encoded by the ribulose-1,5-biphosphate carboxylase holoenzyme (rubisco) activase gene (rca).

Two Residues of Rubisco Activase Involved in Recognition of the Rubisco Substrate [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2005 Rubisco activase is an AAA(+) protein, a superfamily with members that use a "Sensor 2" domain for substrate recognition. To determine whether the analogous domain of activase is involved in recognition of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco, EC 4.1.1.39), two chimeric activases were constructed, interchanging a Sensor 2-containing

Metabolic and molecular events occurring during chromoplast biogenesis [PDF]
, 2011 Chromoplasts are nonphotosynthetic plastids that accumulate carotenoids. They derive from other plastid forms, mostly chloroplasts. The biochemical events responsible for the interconversion of one plastid form into another are poorly documented. However,
