Amino Acid Sequence Analysis Of The Small Subunit Of Ribulose Bisphosphate Carboxylase From Fucus (Phaeophyceae)1

Keen, Jeffrey N., Pappin, Darryl J. C., Evans, Leonard V. (1988) Amino Acid Sequence Analysis Of The Small Subunit Of Ribulose Bisphosphate Carboxylase From Fucus (Phaeophyceae)1. Journal of Phycology, 24 (3). pp. 324-327. ISSN 1529-8817

Abstract

This paper reports for the first time amino acid sequence information for the small subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase / oxygenase (Rubisco) from a non-green alga. N-terminal sequences are presented for the polypeptide from three species of the genus Fucus (Phaeophyceae). Although homologous to small subunit polypeptides from other organisms, the Fucus sequences exhibit a unique N-terminal section resembling neither cyanobacterial nor chlorophytic sequences. This difference may be a consequence of the plastid DNA coding arrangement for the small subunit in chromophytes, a situation reported for the related organism Olisthodiscus but not previously investigated at the amino acid sequence level.
