Higher plant ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO) cannot reassociate after dissociation, and its subunits do not assemble into active RuBisCO when synthesized in Escherichia coli. Newly synthesized subunits of RuBisCO are associated with a high molecular weight binding protein complex in pea chloroplasts. The immediate donor for large subunits which assemble into RuBisCO is a low molecular weight complex which may be derived from the high molecular weight binding protein complex. When the high molecular weight binding protein complex is diluted, it tends to dissociate, forming low molecular weight complexes. When the large subunit-binding protein complexes were examined after in organello protein synthesis, it was found that the low molecular weight complexes were more abundant when protein synthesis was carried out under hypotonic conditions. This increase in the assembly competent population of low molecular weight large subunit complexes can account for the increased amount of in vitro RuBisCO assembly which occurs under these conditions. The data indicate that the assembly of large subunits into RuBisCO is a function of the aggregation state of the large subunit binding protein complex during protein synthesis. This implies that the binding protein exerts its effects during or shortly after large subunit synthesis.
