Here we present a 2.87 Å resolution cryo-EM structure of encapsulin with heterologous protein complex loaded. It is the first successful case of expressing encapsulin and heterologous cargo protein in the insect cell system. Although we failed to reconstruct the cargo protein complex structure due to the signal interference of the capsid shell, we were able to observe some unique features of the cargo-loaded encapsulin shell, for example, an extra density at the fivefold pore that has not been reported before. These results would lead to a more complete understanding of the encapsulin cargo assembly process of . |
