UniProt functional annotation for P95648

UniProt code: P95648.

Organism: Rhodobacter sphaeroides (Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Alphaproteobacteria; Rhodobacterales; Rhodobacteraceae; Luteovulum.
 
Function: ATPase involved in the activation of red-type RuBisCo (ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase), which tends to form inactive complexes with its substrate ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) (PubMed:27872295, PubMed:22048315). Catalyzes the release of RuBP from inhibited RuBisCo in an ATP-dependent manner (PubMed:27872295, PubMed:22048315). Activation of RuBisCO involves the ATP-dependent carboxylation of the epsilon-amino group of lysine leading to a carbamate structure (PubMed:27872295, PubMed:22048315). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22048315, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27872295}.
 
Subunit: Forms homohexameric rings (PubMed:22048315). The oligomeric transition is triggered by ribulose 1,5-biphosphate (PubMed:27872295). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22048315, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27872295}.
Similarity: Belongs to the CbxX/CfxQ family. {ECO:0000305}.
