The Pentameric Vertex Proteins Are Necessary for the Icosahedral Carboxysome Shell to Function as a CO sub(2) Leakage Barrier

Background Carboxysomes are polyhedral protein microcompartments found in many autotrophic bacteria; they encapsulate the CO sub(2) fixing enzyme, ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RubisCO) within a thin protein shell and provide an environment that enhances the catalytic capabilities...
