This study shows that the McdAB system can be used to engineer spatial control of various bacterial organelles in E. coli, enabling programmable positioning for synthetic biology applications.

This paper introduces a plasmid toolkit for expressing and purifying functional carboxysomes, showing that modifying specific genes affects their size and uniformity.

The paper identifies an invariant tryptophan in McdB that mediates its interaction with carboxysomes and influences their positioning, showing similar mechanisms in both α- and β-carboxysomes.
