Encapsulins are versatile proteins found in a variety of different bacteria (Giessen and Silver, 2017). In the case of this specific part derived from Thermotoga maritima, it can be used among other things to deliver cargo, both on the outer surface of the nanoparticle by fusing a peptide in between the 139/140 Amino Acids  or the protein's C terminus as well as using a tag binding to Encapsulin's interior surface (Cassidy-Amstutz et al., 2016).
