Carboxysomes are proteinaceous organelles that encapsulate key enzymes of CO2 fixation -
Rubisco and carbonic anhydrase - and are the centerpiece of the bacterial CO2 concentrating
mechanism (CCM). In the CCM, actively accumulated cytosolic bicarbonate diffuses into the
carboxysome and is converted to CO2 by carbonic anhydrase, producing a high CO2
concentration near Rubisco and ensuring efficient carboxylation. Self-assembly of the
α-carboxysome is...
