In-cell structure and variability of pyrenoid Rubisco.
Nature communications 20250820 1
Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) is central to global CO<sub>2</sub> fixation. In eukaryotic algae, its catalytic efficiency is enhanced through the pyrenoid - a protein-dense organelle within the chloroplast that concentrates CO<sub>2</sub>. Although Rubisco structure has been extensively studied in vitro, its native structure, dynamics and interactions within the pyrenoid remain elusive. Here, we present the native Rubisco structure inside the green alga Chlamydomonas ...[more]
