| 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}. | |
