Structural characterization of encapsulated ferritin provides insight into iron storage in bacterial nanocompartments

Ferritins are ubiquitous proteins that oxidise and store iron within a protein shell to protect cells from oxidative damage. We have characterized the structure and function of a new member of the ferritin superfamily that is sequestered within an encapsulin capsid. We show that this encapsulated fe...
