Identification and Structural Analysis of a Novel Carboxysome Shell Protein with Implications for Metabolite Transport

Bacterial microcompartments (BMCs) are polyhedral bodies, composed entirely of proteins, that function as organelles in bacteria; they promote subcellular processes by encapsulating and co-localizing targeted enzymes with their substrates. The best-characterized BMC is the carboxysome, a central par...
