Abstract
Cyanobacteria mostly rely on the active uptake of hydrated CO2 (i.e., bicarbonate ions) from the surrounding media to fuel their inorganic carbon assimilation.

Cyanobacteria mostly rely on the active uptake of hydrated CO2 (i.e., bicarbonate ions) from the surrounding media to fuel their inorganic carbon assimilation. The dehydration of bicarbonate in close vicinity of RuBisCO is achieved through the activity of carboxysomal carbonic anhydrase (CA) enzymes. Simultaneously, many cyanobacterial genomes encode extracellular α- and β-class CAs (EcaA, EcaB) whose exact physiological role remains largely unknown. To date, the CahB1 enzyme of Sodalinema gerasimenkoae (formerly Microcoleus/Coleofasciculus chthonoplastes) remains the sole described active extracellular β-CA in cyanobacteria, but its molecular features strongly suggest it to be a carboxysomal rather than a secreted protein. Upon expression of CahB1 in Synechocystis sp. PCC6803, we found that its expression complemented the loss of endogenous CcaA. Moreover, CahB1 was found to localize to a carboxysome-harboring and CA-active cell fraction. Our data suggest that CahB1 retains all crucial properties of a cellular carboxysomal CA and that the secretion mechanism and/or the machinations of the Sodalinema gerasimenkoae carboxysome are different from those of Synechocystis.
