CC-4711 rbcL-K466V mt+

$30.00

From Robert J. Spreitzer, University of Nebraska, July 2014

Directed mutagenesis and chloroplast transformation of rbcL∆-25B1 mt+ (CC-4700) were used to create a K466V substitution in the Rubisco large subunit to investigate the interaction between Rubisco and Rubisco activase (Portis and Spreitzer, unpublished). This is the original mutant strain created in 2002. It has been maintained with acetate medium in darkness to prevent selection for secondary mutations that may alter the interactions between activase and Rubisco.
