Comments [?]

Function One of the shell proteins of the carboxysome, a polyhedral inclusion where RuBisCO (ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase, rbcL-rbcS) is sequestered. Assembles into hexamers which make sheets that form the facets of the polyhedral carboxysome. The hexamer central pore probably regulates metabolite flux.
Subunit Homohexamer. Interacts with CcmN and CcmO in the carboxysome.
Subcellular location Carboxysome.
Domain The tight homohexamer forms a small pore which is positively charged.
Similarity Belongs to the bacterial microcompartments protein family. CcmK subfamily.
