Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) activase functions as a mechano-chemical motor protein using the energy from ATP hydrolysis to contort the structure of its target protein, Rubisco. This action modulates the activation state of Rubisco by removing tightly-bound inhibitory sugar-phosphates from Rubisco's catalytic sites, thereby restoring the sites to catalytic competence. This chapter reports methods developed for assaying the two activities of Rubisco activase: ATP hydrolysis and Rubisco activation.
1,5-二磷酸核酮糖羧化酶/加氧酶(Rubisco)活化酶作为一种机械化学运动蛋白,利用ATP水解产生的能量使靶蛋白Rubisco的结构发生扭曲。这一作用通过从Rubisco的催化位点去除紧密结合的抑制性糖磷酸来调节Rubisco的活化状态,从而使这些位点恢复催化活性。本章介绍了用于测定Rubisco活化酶两种活性的方法:ATP水解和Rubisco活化。
