CC   -!- FUNCTION: RuBisCO catalyzes two reactions: the carboxylation of D-
CC       ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate, the primary event in carbon dioxide
CC       fixation, as well as the oxidative fragmentation of the pentose
CC       substrate in the photorespiration process. Both reactions occur
CC       simultaneously and in competition at the same active site. Although the
CC       small subunit is not catalytic it is essential for maximal activity.
CC       {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00859}.
CC   -!- SUBUNIT: Heterohexadecamer of 8 large and 8 small subunits.
CC       {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00859}.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Plastid, chloroplast {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-
CC       Rule:MF_00859}.
CC   -!- MISCELLANEOUS: In this alga, in contrast to plants, the small subunit
CC       is encoded in the chloroplast.
CC   -!- MISCELLANEOUS: The basic functional RuBisCO is composed of a large
CC       chain homodimer in a 'head-to-tail' conformation. In form I RuBisCO
CC       this homodimer is arranged in a barrel-like tetramer with the small
CC       subunits forming a tetrameric 'cap' on each end of the 'barrel'.
CC       {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00859}.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the RuBisCO small chain family.
CC       {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00859}.
