“…To successfully assemble a functional carboxysome in plants, it is necessary to have a comprehensive understanding of both the carboxysome lumen and the shell, and how these two components interconnect. The supramolecular structure of the microcompartment interior has been subject of study for some time and recent reports have provided molecular-level detail as to the forces governing internal lumen organisation and interaction networks (Blikstad et al, 2023;Flecken et al, 2020;Metskas et al, 2022;Ni et al, 2022Ni et al, , 2023Oltrogge et al, 2020Turnšek et al, 2023;Wang, Yan, et al, 2019). The intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) CsoS2 and CcmM in αand β-carboxysomes, respectively, are the primary Rubisco interaction partners (Oltrogge et al, 2020;Wang, Yan, et al, 2019;Zang et al, 2021).…”
