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

Many bacteria contain intracellular microcompartments with outer shells that are composed
of thousands of protein subunits and interiors that are filled with functionally related …

Cancers that appear pathologically similar often respond differently to the same drug
regimens. Methods to better match patients to drugs are in high demand. We demonstrate a …

The carboxysome is a protein-based organelle for carbon fixation in cyanobacteria,
keystone organisms in the global carbon cycle. It is composed of thousands of subunits …

Compartmentalization is an important organizational feature of life. It occurs at varying levels
of complexity ranging from eukaryotic organelles and the bacterial microcompartments, to …

Spatial organization is a hallmark of all living systems. Even bacteria, the smallest forms of
cellular life, display defined shapes and complex internal organization, showcasing a highly …

Abstract Background The λ Red recombineering technology has been used extensively in
Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium for easy PCR-mediated generation of deletion …

Bacterial microcompartments (BMCs) are organelles composed entirely of protein. They
promote specific metabolic processes by encapsulating and colocalizing enzymes with their …

Bacterial microcompartments (MCPs) are sophisticated protein-based organelles used to
optimize metabolic pathways. They consist of metabolic enzymes encapsulated within a …

Targeting of proteins to bacterial microcompartments (BMCs) is mediated by an 18-amino-
acid peptide sequence. Herein, we report the solution structure of the N-terminal targeting …
