Structural highlights
FunctionENCAP_RHORT Shell component of a type 1 encapsulin nanocompartment. Assembles into proteinaceous icosahedral shells 24 nm in diameter in the presence and absence of its ferritin cargo protein. The center of cargo-loaded nanocompartments is loaded with iron. The empty encapsulin nanocompartment sequesters about 2200 Fe ions while the cargo-loaded nanocompartment can maximally sequester about 4150 Fe ions. Does not have any detectable ferroxidase activity.[1] [2] References
