1.S.10.  The Bacterial/Archaeal Nanocompartment Encapsulin Shell Protein6 (BANC-SP5) Family

Encapsulin nanocompartment protein Rv1762c  The system contributes to defense against oxidative stress in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Lien et al. 2021).  This nanocompartment contains the dye-decolorizing peroxidase DyP. It is important for the ability of Mtb to resist oxidative stress in low pH environments, including during infection of host cells and upon treatment with a clinically relevant antibiotic.
