Prior to CO2 fixation, Activation of RUBISCO/Carbamylation of RUBISCO takes place

1. Two protons are released. 

2. Binding of CO2 molecule on NH2 group

3. Binding of Mg2+ concentration upon illumination

The signals flow from the chloroplast to the nucleus is retrograde:

plastidial ferrochelatase I catalyzes the synthesis of heme, which in turn regulates the expression of nuclear encoded, chloroplast‐targeted proteins in greening leaves.

Forms I, II, and III are catalytically competent, while members of form IV lack Rubisco activity and play other roles in metabolism.
