Fig. 2: Structure of the encapsulin shell.

a Surface representation of the KpEnc encapsulin shell – obtained from a KpDyP_Enc sample – viewed down the 5-fold symmetry axis with a single subunit shown in ribbon representation using rainbow coloring. b Ribbon diagram of the KpEnc protomer. c Electrostatic surface representation of the exterior view of the 5-fold pore with the pore diameter shown. d Electrostatic surface representation of the exterior view of the 3-fold pore with the pore diameter shown. e Electrostatic surface representation of the exterior view along the 2-fold pore. f Shell-subtracted 2D class averages of KpDyP_Enc highlighting distinct internalized DyP cargo assemblies.
