The pentameric vertex proteins are necessary for the icosahedral carboxysome shell to function as a CO2 leakage barrier.
<h4>Background</h4>Carboxysomes are polyhedral protein microcompartments found in many autotrophic bacteria; they encapsulate the CO(2) fixing enzyme, ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RubisCO) within a thin protein shell and provide an environment that enhances the cataly...
