abstract = {Using a newly discovered encapsulin from Mycolicibacterium
hassiacum, several biocatalysts were packaged in this robust
protein cage. The encapsulin was found to be easy to produce
as recombinant protein. Elucidation of its crystal structure
revealed that it is a spherical protein cage of 60 protomers
(diameter of 23 nm) with narrow pores. By developing an
effective coexpression and isolation procedure, the effect
of packaging a variety of biocatalysts could be evaluated.
It was shown that encapsulation results in a significantly
higher stability of the biocatalysts. Most of the targeted
cofactor-containing biocatalysts remained active in the
encapsulin. Due to the restricted diameters of the
encapsulin pores (5–9 Å), the protein cage protects the
encapsulated enzymes from bulky compounds. The work shows
that encapsulins may be valuable tools to tune the
properties of biocatalysts such as stability and substrate
specificity.},
