Identification of a Carboxysomal γ-Carbonic Anhydrase in the Mesophilic Cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. PCC7120

Analysis of the genome of Anabaena sp. PCC7120 reveals that it lacks the gene, ccaA, which encodes the bonafide carboxysomal, β-class carbonic anhydrase (CA) CcaA. However, the carboxysome enriched fraction of Anabaena PCC7120 exhibits CA activity. Bioinformatic analysis reveals that the N-terminal...
