Comparison of the amino acid sequences of the Tch. tepidum and Alc. vinosum RuBisCO proteins. (a,b) Sequence alignment of the large subunits (a) and small subunits (b) of the Tch. tepidum and Alc. vinosum RuBisCO proteins. The substitutions distributed on the hydrophilic surface of the subunits are marked with hollow triangles (∆). Substitutions buried within the subunits are marked with filled triangles (▲). (c) Distribution of substitutions on the surfaces of the Tch. tepidum RuBisCO subunits in side and top views. Substitutions are colored in red.
