UniProt functional annotation for Q32904

UniProt code: Q32904.

Organism: Pisum sativum (Garden pea).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Viridiplantae; Streptophyta; Embryophyta; Tracheophyta; Spermatophyta; Magnoliopsida; eudicotyledons; Gunneridae; Pentapetalae; rosids; fabids; Fabales; Fabaceae; Papilionoideae; 50 kb inversion clade; NPAAA clade; Hologalegina; IRL clade; Fabeae; Pisum.
 
Function: The light-harvesting complex (LHC) functions as a light receptor, it captures and delivers excitation energy to photosystems with which it is closely associated. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:2174365, ECO:0000305}.
 
Function: May channel protons produced in the catalytic Mn center of water oxidation into the thylakoid lumen. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:2174365}.
 
Cofactor: Note=Binds at least 14 chlorophylls (8 Chl-a and 6 Chl-b) and carotenoids such as lutein and neoxanthin. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P07371};
Subunit: The LHC complex consists of chlorophyll a-b binding proteins. {ECO:0000305}.
Subcellular location: Plastid, chloroplast thylakoid membrane {ECO:0000305}; Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000255, ECO:0000305}.
Domain: The N-terminus of the protein extends into the stroma where it is involved with adhesion of granal membranes and post-translational modifications; both are believed to mediate the distribution of excitation energy between photosystems I and II. {ECO:0000305}.
Ptm: Photoregulated by reversible phosphorylation of its threonine residues. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P07371}.
Similarity: Belongs to the light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b-binding (LHC) protein family. {ECO:0000255}.
