UniProt functional annotation for P72759

UniProt code: P72759.

Organism: Synechocystis sp. (strain PCC 6803 / Kazusa).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Cyanobacteria; Synechococcales; Merismopediaceae; Synechocystis; unclassified Synechocystis.
 
Function: Probably forms vertices in the carboxysome, a polyhedral inclusion where RuBisCO (ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase, rbcL-rbcS) is sequestered. Has been modeled to induce curvature upon insertion into an otherwise flat hexagonal molecular layer of CcmK subunits. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00858, ECO:0000305|PubMed:18292340}.
 
Subunit: Homopentamer (PubMed:18292340). Interacts with full-length CcmM (PubMed:17993516). {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00858, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17993516, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18292340}.
Subcellular location: Carboxysome {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00858, ECO:0000305|PubMed:18292340}. Note=This cyanobacterium makes beta-type carboxysomes (Probable). Probably forms vertices in the polyhedral carboxysome (Probable). {ECO:0000305|PubMed:17993516, ECO:0000305|PubMed:18292340}.
Domain: The tight homopentamer forms a pore with an opening of about 5 Angstroms in diameter which opens into a wider tunnel at the base of the truncated pyramid. The pore is positively charged. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18292340}.
Similarity: Belongs to the CcmL/EutN family. CcmL subfamily. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00858}.
