Figure 1
A model for bacterial microcompartment (MCP) structure and function in the carboxysome. The illustration highlights the assembly of shell protein monomers into hexamers, as well as the edgewise association of hexamers to form the tightly packed facets of the polyhedral MCP shell. Within the shell, a reaction scheme depicts the metabolic events that occur in the lumen of the carboxysome. The critical intermediate, CO2, is highlighted in red. In the reaction scheme, solid black lines depict enzymatic reactions, while dashed lines indicate transport events. (RuBP, ribulose 1,6-bisphosphate; 3-PGA, 3-phosphoglyceric acid; RuBisCO, ribulose-1,6-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase.) |
