abstract = {Carboxysomes are proteinaceous bacterial microcompartments
that sequester the key enzymes for carbon fixation in
cyanobacteria and some proteobacteria. They consist of a
virus-like icosahedral shell, encapsulating several enzymes,
including ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase
(RuBisCO), responsible for the first step of the
Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle. Despite their significance in
carbon fixation and great bioengineering potentials, the
structural understanding of native carboxysomes is currently
limited to low-resolution studies. Here, we report the
characterization of a native α-carboxysome from a marine
cyanobacterium by single-particle cryoelectron microscopy
(cryo-EM). We have determined the structure of its RuBisCO
enzyme, and obtained low-resolution maps of its icosahedral
shell, and of its concentric interior organization. Using
integrative modeling approaches, we have proposed a complete
atomic model of an intact carboxysome, providing insight
into its organization and assembly. This is critical for a
better understanding of the carbon fixation mechanism and
toward repurposing carboxysomes in synthetic biology for
biotechnological applications.},
