Title: RAF 2 is a RuBis CO assembly factor in Arabidopsis thaliana

Abstract

Summary Ribulose‐1,5‐bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBis CO ) catalyzes the reaction between gaseous carbon dioxide ( CO 2 ) and ribulose‐1,5‐bisphosphate. Although it is one of the most studied enzymes, the assembly mechanisms of the large hexadecameric RuBis CO is still emerging. In bacteria and in the C4 plant Zea mays , a protein with distant homology to p terin‐4α‐ c arbinolamine d ehydratase ( PCD ) has recently been shown to be involved in RuBis CO assembly. However, studies of the homologous PCD ‐like protein ( RAF 2, RuBis CO assembly factor 2) in the C3 plant Arabidopsis thaliana ( A . thaliana ) have so far focused on its role in hormone and stress signaling. We investigated whether A . thaliana RAF 2 is also involved in RuBis CO assembly. We localized RAF 2 to the soluble chloroplast stroma and demonstrated that raf2 A . thaliana mutant plants display a severe pale green phenotype with reduced levels of stromal RuBis CO . We concluded that the RAF 2 protein is probably involved in RuBis CO assembly in the C3 plant A . thaliana .
