| UniProt functional annotation for Q8DHA7 | |||
| UniProt code: Q8DHA7. |
| Organism: | Thermosynechococcus elongatus (strain BP-1). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Cyanobacteria; Synechococcales; Synechococcaceae; Thermosynechococcus. | |
| Function: | One of the components of the core complex of photosystem II (PSII). PSII is a light-driven water:plastoquinone oxidoreductase that uses light energy to abstract electrons from H(2)O, generating O(2) and a proton gradient subsequently used for ATP formation. It consists of a core antenna complex that captures photons, and an electron transfer chain that converts photonic excitation into a charge separation. This subunit is found at the monomer-monomer interface. Probably involved in dimerization of PSII; at the monomer-monomer interface the only protein-protein contacts observed are between the 2 PsbM subunits. Lipids, chlorophylls and carotenoids contribute strongly to PSII dimerization. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00438, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19219048, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20558739, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21195048, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21367867, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25006873}. | |
