Uncovering the roles of the scaffolding protein CsoS2 in mediating the assembly and shape of the α-carboxysome shell

ABSTRACT Carboxysomes are proteinaceous organelles featuring icosahedral protein shells that enclose the carbon-fixing enzymes, ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase oxygenase (Rubisco), along with carbonic anhydrase. The intrinsically disordered scaffolding protein CsoS2 plays a vital role in the c...
