Description:

MUT-4871 rbcL-K175S mt+

Catalog No: ALS-04006

Product Details

Subategory:
Mutants
Description:
Using plasmid p699, rbcL direct mutagenesis, chloroplast transformation of wild-type 2137 mt+ (cloned), selection for spectinomycin resistance in the dark, and screening for a homoplasmic acetate-requiring phenotype to create a K175G substitution (AAA-TCA) in the Rubisco large subunit were performed. The K175S substitution causes a 90% decrease in Rubisco holoenzyme and a 99% decrease in Rubisco carboxylase activity. This mutant was created to investigate the role of active-site Lys-175 in catalysis. It has been maintained with acetate medium in darkness since its creation.
