Rubisco (Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase) catalyzes the rate-limiting step of CO2 fixation in photosynthetic organisms. It is demonstrably homologous from purple bacteria to flowering plants and consists of two protein subunits, each present in 8 copies. In plants and green algae, the large subunit (~55 kDa) is coded by the chloroplast rbcL gene, and the small subunit (15 kDa) is coded by a family of nuclear rbcS genes.

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.Source of Rubisco standard: Rubisco protein was purified directly from a plant tissue - spinach.

Format:
Lyophilized in glycerol.
Storage Temp:

Concentration: after re-constitution with sterile milliQ water final concentration of the standard is 0.15 pmoles/ lProtein standard buffer composition: Glycerol 10%, Tris Base 141 mM, Tris HCl 106 mM, LDS 2%, EDTA 0.51 mM, SERVA Blue G250 0.22 mM, Phenol Red 0.175 mM, pH 8.5, 0.1mg/ml PefaBloc protease inhibitor (Roche), 50 mM DTT.This standard is ready-to-load and does not require any additions or heating. It needs to be fully thawed and thoroughly mixed prior to using. Avoid vigorous vortexing, as buffers contain detergent. Following mixing, briefly pulse in a microcentrifuge to collect material from cap.This standard is stabilized and ready and does not require heating before loading on the gel. Please note that this product contains 10% glycerol and might appear as liquid but is provided lyophilized. Allow the product several minutes to solubilize after adding water. Mix thoroughly but gently Take extra care to mix thoroughly before each use, as the proteins tend to settle with the more dense layer after freezing.Please, use the 55 kDa size of RbcL for calculations. The pmoles in the standard refer to pmoles of rbcL monomers.Why can I not see the standard band using Coomasie stain? The reason that you do not see Rubisco standard on a gel is, that you have probably used it in concentration which is recommended for western blot detection, and it is too low to allow to see this protein using Coomasie stain. In such a case, you should load more Rubisco standard on a gel and stain it with more sensitive Coomasie stain or with silver. You can not use such a gel for western blot, as using higher concentration of this standard will not work for quantitation using western blot technique.

Standard curve: three protein standard loads are recommended.For most applications a sample load of 0.2 μg of chlorophyll/well will give a RbcL signal in this range.Positive control: a 2 μl load per well is optimal for most chemiluminescent detection systems. Higher standard concentration needs to be used to allow detection by Coomasie stains. Such gels with higher standard concentration can not be used for quantitation using chemiluminescence.This standard is stabilized does not require heating before loading on the gel or addition of any buffer.Please note that this product contains 10% glycerol and might appear as liquid but is provided lyophilized. Allow the product several minutes to solubilize after adding water. Mix thoroughly but gently Take extra care to mix thoroughly before each use, as the proteins tend to settle with the more dense layer after freezing.
Reconstitution:
For reconstitution add 90 l of sterile water, Please notice that this product contains 10% glycerol and might appear as liquid but is provided lyophilized
Molecular Weight:
52.7 kDa

Special application note:
The RbcL protein standard can be used in a combination with Agrisera global antibiodies (AS01 017 from chicken or AS03 037 from a rabbit) to quantitate RbcL from a wide range of species. Global antibodies are raised against highly conserved amino acid sequence. This standard is also included in following kits: Educational antibody kit - photosynthesis, Photosynthesis Tool Kit - quantitation, Rubico quantitation kit,Quantitative western blot: detailed method description, video tutorial
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.

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
Applications:
Immunogluorescence (IF), Immunolocalization (IL), ImmunoGold (IG), Western blot (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.
Application Details:
(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 g of total cellular protein, (WB)
Purity:
