MUT-4753 rbcS1-E43A mt
Datasheet
Catalog No: ALS-03889
Product Details
Subategory:
Mutants
Description:
Directed mutagenesis and nuclear-gene transformation of rbcSΔ-T60-3 mt- (MUT-4415) were used to create an E43A substitution (GAG-GCC) in the Rubisco small subunit, which causes a decrease in Rubisco CO2/O2 specificity and holoenzyme stability. This mutant can grow on minimal medium at 25 °C, but dies on minimal medium at 35 °C. The strain has been maintained with acetate medium in darkness to prevent selection for secondary mutations that may improve Rubisco function or stability.
