Description:

MUT-4882 rbcL-I309M mt+

Catalog No: ALS-04017

Product Details

Subategory:
Mutants
Description:
Using standard methods of directed mutagenesis and chloroplast transformation of rbcLΔ-MX3312 mt+ (MUT-4696), an I309M substitution was created in the Rubisco large subunit. This mutant was created to investigate phylogenetic differences in the Rubisco large subunit that may be responsible for pyrenoid formation in algae. See also rbcL-R32K/A222S/C247S and rbcL-R32K/V145C/P210S/A222S/I225L/C247S/I309M. An I309M substitution in plant Rubisco alters carboxylation catalytic efficiency. This strain has been maintained with acetate medium in darkness to prevent selection for secondary mutations that may improve Rubisco function.
