  ABSTRACT  
 
The carboxysome is a bacterial microcompartment that functions as a simple organelle by sequestering enzymes involved in carbon fixation. The carboxysome shell is roughly 800 to 1400 angstroms in diameter and is assembled from several thousand protein subunits. Previous studies have revealed the three-dimensional structures of hexameric carboxysome shell proteins, which self-assemble into molecular layers that most likely constitute the facets of the polyhedral shell. Here, we report the three-dimensional structures of two proteins of previously unknown function, CcmL and OrfA (or CsoS4A), from the two known classes of carboxysomes, at resolutions of 2.4 and 2.15 angstroms. Both proteins assemble to form pentameric structures whose size and shape are compatible with formation of vertices in an icosahedral shell. Combining these pentamers with the hexamers previously elucidated gives two plausible, preliminary atomic models for the carboxysome shell.

Figure 2.
Fig. 2. Crystal structures of the carboxysome proteins CcmL and OrfA revealing pentagonal symmetry. (A) Structure of the CcmL monomer from Syn. 6803. (B) A comparison of similar structures: CcmL (blue), OrfA (or CsoS4A) from H. neapolitanus (yellow), and EutN from E. coli (pink) (PDB 2Z9H). The RMSD between the protein backbones of CcmL and OrfA is 1.0 Å, and 1.3 Å between CcmL and EutN. (C) CcmL and OrfA assemble as natural pentamers. EutN, which is part of the eut operon that encodes proteins presumed to comprise the distinct eut microcompartment in E. coli, is instead hexameric. (D) Top and side views of the CcmL pentamer showing a pentagonal disk with slanted sides.
Figure 3.
Fig. 3. Models of the carboxysome shell based on pentamer and hexamer components. (A) A flat layer of hexagons can be folded to give pentagonal vertices by removing one sector at each vertex. Twelve such vertices are present in an icosahedral shell. (B) Taken in combination, alternate choices for the curvature of the hexagonal layer and the orientation of the pentamer lead to four possible constructions, numbered 1 to 4 according to the quality of fit. Combination 4 led to impossible steric collisions. The structures are colored according to calculated electrostatic potential, from negative (red) to positive (blue). (C) Illustration of the best packing solutions for constructions 1 to 3. EN, calculated packing energies (27) (with more negative values being favorable); SC, surface complementarity (26); and SA, buried surface area between a pentamer and a single neighboring hexamer (with higher values of these parameters being favorable). (D) Two alternate models for the complete carboxysome shell, based on the two constructions, 1 and 2, judged to be most plausible. There are 740 hexamers and 12 pentamers in a T = 75 arrangement. The packing of hexamers is derived from multiple consistent crystal structures. The two models differ with respect to the orientation of the hexameric layer. The hexagonal layer is colored according to hydrophobicity, with increases showing as blue to orange. The CcmL pentamers are shown in magenta. The diameter from vertex to vertex is 1150 Å.

The most recent references are shown first. Citation data come partly from CiteXplore and partly from an automated harvesting procedure. Note that this is likely to be only a partial list as not all journals are covered by either method. However, we are continually building up the citation data so more and more references will be included with time. Where a reference describes a PDB structure, the PDB codes are shown on the right.
