Both reactions occur simultaneously and in competition at the same active site.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01338] Publication Abstract from PubMed Carboxysomes are a family of bacterial microcompartments in cyanobacteria and chemoautotrophs. They encapsulate Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (Rubisco) and carbonic anhydrase catalyzing carbon fixation inside a proteinaceous shell. How Rubisco complexes pack within the carboxysomes is unknown. Using cryo-electron tomography, we determine the distinct 3D organization of Rubisco inside two distant alpha-carboxysomes from a marine alpha-cyanobacterium Cyanobium sp. PCC 7001 where Rubiscos are organized in three concentric layers, and from a chemoautotrophic bacterium Halothiobacillus neapolitanus where they form intertwining spirals. We further resolve the structures of native Rubisco as well as its higher-order assembly at near-atomic resolutions by subtomogram averaging. The structures surprisingly reveal that the authentic intrinsically disordered linker protein CsoS2 interacts with Rubiscos in native carboxysomes but functions distinctively in the two alpha-carboxysomes. In contrast to the uniform Rubisco-CsoS2 association in the Cyanobium alpha-carboxysome, CsoS2 binds only to the Rubiscos close to the shell in the Halo alpha-carboxysome. Our findings provide critical knowledge of the assembly principles of alpha-carboxysomes, which may aid in the rational design and repurposing of carboxysome structures for new functions.
