CsoSCA is a critical component of the carboxysome in cyanobacteria, specifically identified in Cyanobium sp. PCC7001. It plays a vital role in carbon concentrating mechanisms by enhancing CO2 fixation through its catalytic activity as a carbonic anhydrase (CA). Recent studies reveal that CsoSCA is allosterically activated by ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP), underscoring its regulatory significance in photosynthesis.

Introduction

Usage and Biology

CsoSCA's functionality is tightly linked to the presence of RuBP, which is essential for its enzymatic activity. It forms a hexameric structure that allows efficient CO2 hydration, enhancing the overall effectiveness of the carboxysome. Understanding the regulation and structure of CsoSCA is crucial for advancing knowledge in cyanobacterial biology and improving carbon fixation strategies in biotechnology applications.
