自上世纪80年代核酮糖-1,5-二磷酸羧化酶/加氧酶活化酶(Ru Bis CO activase,RCA)被发现后,一直广受关注,其酶学特性、体内外活化及其对光合作用的影响、体内外活性调节机制、基因和分子结构、反义突变和超表达等研究,已成为了光合研究领域的一大热点。本文结合国内外研究进展,就RCA分子结构、与光合作用的关系,特别是其在植物抗逆中的作用等方面进行综述。
Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO) activase (RCA) has attracted more and more attention since it is discovered. It becomes one of the most important fields of photosynthesis research to study enzymology characteristics, activation of Rubisco both in vivo and in vitro, regulation of photosynthet- ic rate and RCA activity, gene and molecular structure, antisense, and overexpression. In this paper we mainly review the molecular structure, the relationship between RCA and crop photosynthesis and, especially, the role of RCA in resistance of plant to abiotic stresses.
