ATP binding and hydrolysis and autophosphorylation of CbbQ encoded by the gene located downstream of RubisCO genes.
CbbQ is encoded by the gene located downstream of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase genes (cbbLS) in the thermophilic hydrogen-oxidizing bacterium, Hydrogenophilus thermoluteolus. The protein possesses two nucleotide-binding motifs in its amino acid sequence, and it posttranslationally activates RubisCO. We present ATP hydrolysis and binding of CbbQ. CbbQ releases P(i) from ATP only in the presence of Mg(2+). CbbQ interacts with an 2'(3')-O-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)adenosine 5'-triphosphate in the presence or absence of Mg(2+). The interaction with Mg(2+) and/or a nucleotide induces a conformational change in CbbQ. Autophosphorylation of CbbQ occurs only in the absence of Mg(2+).
