Method: Electron Microscopy, Resolution 2.79Å Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function CSS4A_HALNC Probably forms vertices in the carboxysome, a polyhedral inclusion where RuBisCO (ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase, cbbL-cbbS) is sequestered. Has been modeled to induce curvature upon insertion into an otherwise flat hexagonal layer of major carboxysome subunits (Probable). A minor shell protein, only 12 pentamers of CsoS4A/CsoS4B are calculated to be present in each carboxysome. The 2 CsoS4 proteins contribute to the impermeability of the carboxysome to CO(2) (PubMed:19844578). Unlike beta-carboxysomes, alpha-carboxysomes (Cb) can form without cargo protein. CsoS2 is essential for Cb formation and is also capable of targeting foreign proteins to the Cb. The Cb shell assembles with the aid of CsoS2; CsoS1A, CsoS1B and CsoS1C form the majority of the shell while CsoS4A and CsoS4B form vertices. CsoS1D forms pseudohexamers that probably control metabolite flux into and out of the shell.
