Title: In vitro assembly of bacterial microcompartments

Abstract

The present disclosure is related to a BMC fusion protein that is capable of in vitro assembly, comprising a constituent BMC shell protein subunit and a sterically hindering protein domain that is cleavable. The BMC fusion protein is capable of in vitro assembly triggered by removal of the fused sterically hindering domain. The present disclosure is also related to a means to produce BMC shells in vitro, triggered by removal of a fused sterically hindering domain from one or more constituent BMC shell protein subunits. The BMC fusion protein enables encapsulation of broad classes of materials and biophysical studies of shell assembly, encapsulation, and permeability that would otherwise be unavailable from BMCs assembled in vivo.
