Large-scale computational discovery and analysis of virus-derived microbial nanocompartments

Encapsulins are microbial protein compartments that sequester specific enzymes and are formed by self-assembly of a viral-like capsid protein. Here, Andreas and Giessen carry out a large-scale computational analysis of prokaryotic genomes to present a curated set of over 6,000 encapsulin-like system...
