Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) mediates the fixation of atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> in photosynthesis by catalyzing the carboxylation of the 5-carbon sugar ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP). Despite its pivotal role, Rubisco is an inefficient enzyme and thus has been a key target for bioengineering. However, efforts to increase crop yields by Rubisco engineering remain unsuccessful, due in part to the complex machinery of molecular chaperones required for Rubisco biogene ...[more]
