Origin of chaperone dependence and assembly complexity in Rubisco biogenesis

Jediael Z. Y. Ng, Dennis Wiens, Luca Schulz, Alisa Hergenröder, Andreas M. Küffner, Christin Geil, Tobias J. Erb, Georg K. A. Hochberg

The paper investigates the evolutionary origin of chaperone dependence in Rubisco biogenesis and finds that this dependence evolved neutrally and can be reversed without affecting catalytic function.
