Rubisco condensate formation by CcmM in β-carboxysome biogenesis (Nature) ($)

Cyanobacterial carbon-dioxide concentrating mechanisms elevate intracellular inorganic carbon as bicarbonate, and then concentrate it as carbon-dioxide around the enzyme Rubisco in specialized protein micro-compartments called carboxysomes. The formation of B-carboxysomes involves an aggregation between Rubisco and the major scaffolding protein of the carboxysome, called CcmM. CcmM is composed of several repeat modules that can resemble […]
