An unconventional Rubisco small subunit underpins the CO2-concentrating organelle in land plants Tanner A. Robison1,2†, Yuwei Mao3,4†, Zhen Guo Oh2†*, Warren S. L. Ang1†, Dan Hong Loh2, Yu-Heng Hsieh1,5, Maddie Ceminsky5, Nicky Atkinson3,4, Declan Lafferty1, Xia Xu1, Laura H. Gunn2*, Alistair J. McCormick3,4*, Fay-Wei Li1,2* In many algae, photosynthesis is boosted by biophysical CO2- concentrating mechanisms, which pack the CO2-fixing enzyme Rubisco into liquid-like organelles called pyrenoids. Engineering C3 crops with algal pyrenoids could increase yields, but progress is hampered by the deep evolutionary divide between crops and algae. Here, we show that hornworts, the only land plants with pyrenoids, have an unusual Rubisco small subunit, RbcS-STAR, the C-terminal coiled-coil domain of which oligomerizes to mediate Rubisco condensation. …
