Bacterial Geosmin Biosynthesis is Compartmentalized Inside a Two-Component Protein Shell

Asif Fazal, Cassandra A. Dutcher, Michael P. Andreas, Tobias W. Giessen

This study identifies a two-component Family 2B encapsulin shell that compartmentalizes geosmin synthase, showing its role in enzyme activity and stability through cargo loading peptides and pore conformation changes.
