Advances in imaging technologies have revealed that many bacteria possess organelles
with a proteomically defined lumen and a macromolecular boundary. Some are bound by a …

Subcellular compartmentalization is a defining feature of all cells. In prokaryotes,
compartmentalization is generally achieved via protein-based strategies. The two main …

Cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) allows for label-free high-resolution imaging of
macromolecular assemblies in their native cellular context. However, the localization of …

Subcellular compartments often serve to store nutrients or sequester labile or toxic
compounds. As bacteria mostly do not possess membrane-bound organelles, they often …

Encapsulins are self-assembling protein nanocompartments capable of selectively
encapsulating dedicated cargo proteins, including enzymes involved in iron storage, sulfur …

Compartmentalization is an essential feature of all cells. It allows cells to segregate and
coordinate physiological functions in a controlled and ordered manner. Different …

Encapsulins are a recently discovered class of prokaryotic self-assembling icosahedral
protein nanocompartments measuring between 24 and 42 nm in diameter, capable of …

Encapsulins are a class of microbial protein compartments defined by the viral HK97-fold of
their capsid protein, self-assembly into icosahedral shells, and dedicated cargo loading …

Encapsulins containing dye-decolorizing peroxidase (DyP)-type peroxidases are ubiquitous
among prokaryotes, protecting cells against oxidative stress. However, little is known about …

Encapsulins are bacterial organelle-like cages involved in various aspects of metabolism,
especially protection from oxidative stress. They can serve as vehicles for a wide range of …
