Bacterial microcompartments (BMCs) are self-assembling organelles that consist of an
enzymatic core that is encapsulated by a selectively permeable protein shell. The potential …

Carbonic anhydrases (CAs, EC 4.2. 1.1) are widespread enzymes in all organisms,
catalyzing CO2 hydration to bicarbonate and protons. Their inhibition is exploited clinically …

In photosynthetic organisms, d-ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase
(Rubisco) is the major enzyme assimilating atmospheric CO2 into the biosphere. Owing to …

A long-term strategy to enhance global crop photosynthesis and yield involves the
introduction of cyanobacterial CO 2-concentrating mechanisms (CCMs) into plant …

Cells use compartmentalization of enzymes as a strategy to regulate metabolic pathways
and increase their efficiency. The α-and β-carboxysomes of cyanobacteria contain ribulose …

Chloroplast function is orchestrated by the organelle's intricate architecture. By combining
cryo-focused ion beam milling of vitreous Chlamydomonas cells with cryo-electron …

Carboxysomes are proteinaceous organelles that encapsulate key enzymes of CO2 fixation—
Rubisco and carbonic anhydrase—and are the centerpiece of the bacterial CO2 …

Cyanobacteria are the globally dominant photoautotrophic lineage. Their success is
dependent on a set of adaptations collectively termed the CO2-concentrating mechanism …

Compartmentalization is a ubiquitous building principle in cells, which permits segregation
of biological elements and reactions. The carboxysome is a specialized bacterial organelle …

Carboxysomes are bacterial microcompartments that function as the centerpiece of the
bacterial CO2-concentrating mechanism by facilitating high CO2 concentrations near the …
