R gene Mi-1 confers resistance to aphids and whiteflies

Rice R gene Bph14 confers resistance to the brown plant hopper

Melon R gene Vat confers resistance to the cotton aphid. 

All of these R genes encode NBS–LRR receptors.

Chaperonins GroEL and GroES sequester and ensure the correct folding of the newly synthesized large subunit (L). 

The assembly chaperone (RbcX)2 binds the large subunit and provides positional information for proper association of large subunit dimers to form the L8–((RbcX)2)8 complex. 

The small subunit (S) associates with L8–((RbcX)2)8, triggering a conformational change in RbcL and eliciting 

the release of (RbcX)2 and formation of the catalytically mature Rubisco holoenzyme [L]8–[S]8.
