  • PubMed Abstract: 

    Carboxysomes are bacterial microcompartments that function as the centerpiece of the bacterial CO 2 -concentrating mechanism by facilitating high CO 2 concentrations near the carboxylase Rubisco. The carboxysome self-assembles from thousands of individual proteins into icosahedral-like particles with a dense enzyme cargo encapsulated within a proteinaceous shell. In the case of the α-carboxysome, there is little molecular insight into protein-protein interactions that drive the assembly process. Here, studies on the α-carboxysome from Halothiobacillus neapolitanus demonstrate that Rubisco interacts with the N terminus of CsoS2, a multivalent, intrinsically disordered protein. X-ray structural analysis of the CsoS2 interaction motif bound to Rubisco reveals a series of conserved electrostatic interactions that are only made with properly assembled hexadecameric Rubisco. Although biophysical measurements indicate that this single interaction is weak, its implicit multivalency induces high-affinity binding through avidity. Taken together, our results indicate that CsoS2 acts as an interaction hub to condense Rubisco and enable efficient α-carboxysome formation.
