| UniProt functional annotation for P07122 | |||
| UniProt code: P07122. |
| Organism: | Microchaete diplosiphon (Fremyella diplosiphon). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Cyanobacteria; Nostocales; Rivulariaceae; Microchaete. | |
| Function: | Light-harvesting photosynthetic bile pigment-protein from the phycobiliprotein complex (phycobilisome, PBS). Phycocyanin is the major phycobiliprotein in the PBS rod. | |
| Subunit: | Heterodimer of an alpha and a beta subunit, which further assembles into trimers and the trimers into hexamers. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1899708}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cellular thylakoid membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Note=Part of the phycobilisome rod. | |
| Induction: | Phycocyanin-1 is expressed at similar levels in green and red light (constitutive phycocyanin). | |
| Ptm: | Contains one covalently linked bilin chromophore. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1899708, ECO:0007744|PDB:1CPC}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the phycobiliprotein family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
