Anti-RbcL | Rubisco large subunit, form I (chicken)

Rubisco (Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase) catalyzes the rate-limiting step of CO2 fixation in photosynthesis. It is one of the most abundant proteins on Earth and its homology has been demonstrated from purple bacteria to flowering plants.

Arabidopsis thaliana, Fragilariopsis cylindrus, Lobaria pulmonaria, Medicago sativa, mixed phytoplankton, Microcystis aeruginosa PCC7806, Pinus strobus, Pisum sativum, Solanum tuberosum, Spartina alterniflora, Spinacia oleracea, Synechococcus sp. PCC7842, Thiobacillus sp. Ulmus sp.

KLH-conjugated synthetic peptide derived from all known plant, algal and cyanobacterial RbcL (Rubisco large subunit of Rubisco Form I) sequences, including Arabidopsis thaliana UniProt: O03042, TAIR: AtCg00490, Synechococcus sp. Q3ALL1

(IL) tested on a grass species, formaldehyde-fixed and paraffin-embedded tissue following the protocol from Gonzalez et al, (1998) Plant Physiol, V, 116, 1 : 10 000-1 : 20 000, 2 µg of total cellular protein, (WB)

This antibody detects RbcL protein from 102.6 fmoles and has been used as a control to ensure adequate permeabilization and fixation of toxic cyanobacterial cells in immunolabeling experiments (method based on: Orellana & Perry (1995) J Phycol 31: 785-794).Antibody has been used in immunolabelling of intact cyanobacterial cells fixed with ethanol using a secondary anti-IgY antibody conjugated with a fluorochrome.For Rubisco quantification using quantitative western blot technique, anti-RbcL antibody, (AS03 037) combined with Rubisco ready to use standard (AS01 017) is recommended.
