PDUT_SALTY A minor shell protein of the bacterial microcompartment (BMC) dedicated to 1,2-propanediol (1,2-PD) degradation. The isolated BMC shell component protein ratio for J:A:B':B:K:T:U is approximately 15:10:7:6:1:1:2 (PubMed:12923081). Not required for structural integrity of BMCs nor to mitigate propionaldehyde toxicity, may selectively transport specific metabolites (PubMed:21239588). May be involved in electron transport across the BMC shell (Probable). Can be engineered to alter permeability of the BMC shell (PubMed:31674899).[1][2][3][4] The 1,2-PD-specific bacterial microcompartment (BMC) concentrates low levels of 1,2-PD catabolic enzymes, concentrates volatile reaction intermediates thus enhancing pathway flux and keeps the level of toxic, mutagenic propionaldehyde low.[5]
