Both reactions occur simultaneously and in competition at CC the same active site. Although the small subunit is not catalytic it is CC essential for maximal activity. CC -!- SUBUNIT: Heterohexadecamer of 8 large and 8 small subunits. CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Plastid, chloroplast. CC -!- MISCELLANEOUS: The basic functional RuBisCO is composed of a large CC chain homodimer in a 'head-to-tail' conformation. In form I RuBisCO CC this homodimer is arranged in a barrel-like tetramer with the small CC subunits forming a tetrameric 'cap' on each end of the 'barrel'. case not CC -!- MISCELLANEOUS: This protein is expected to contain an N-terminal CC transit peptide but none has been predicted. end case CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the RuBisCO small chain family.
