Diverse bacterial microcompartment organelles.
Bacterial microcompartments (MCPs) are sophisticated protein-based organelles used to optimize metabolic pathways. They consist of metabolic enzymes encapsulated within a protein shell, which creates an ideal environment for catalysis and facilitates the channeling of toxic/volatile intermediates to downstream enzymes. The metabolic processes that require MCPs are diverse and widely distributed...
متن کاملBacterial microcompartment assembly: The key role of encapsulation peptides
Bacterial microcompartments (BMCs) are proteinaceous organelles used by a broad range of bacteria to segregate and optimize metabolic reactions. Their functions are diverse, and can be divided into anabolic (carboxysome) and catabolic (metabolosomes) processes, depending on their cargo enzymes. The assembly pathway for the β-carboxysome has been characterized, revealing that biogenesis proceeds...
متن کاملBasal organelles of bacterial flagella.
Liberated by enzymatic lysis of the cells, the flagella of Rhodospirillum rubrum, R. molischianum, and R. fulvum all have a similar structure. The hook at the base of the flagellum is connected by a short, narrow collar to a paired disc in the basal organelle. This paired disc is in turn connected to a second paired disc. The disposition of flagella to which fragments of the cell membrane still...
متن کاملEngineering the Bacterial Microcompartment Domain for Molecular Scaffolding Applications
As synthetic biology advances the intricacy of engineered biological systems, the importance of spatial organization within the cellular environment must not be marginalized. Increasingly, biological engineers are investigating means to control spatial organization within the cell, mimicking strategies used by natural pathways to increase flux and reduce cross-talk. A modular platform for const...

teria, often in response to contacting host cells or host Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology factors (often called “contact-mediated” secretion) (reDepartment of Microbiology and Immunology viewed by Hueck, 1998). Remarkably, type III systems University of British Columbia also transport specific virulence factors directly into Vancouver, British Columbia host cells, acting as a s...
