| UniProt functional annotation for D0VWR2 | |||
| UniProt code: D0VWR2. |
| Organism: | Thermosynechococcus vulcanus (Synechococcus vulcanus). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Cyanobacteria; Synechococcales; Synechococcaceae; Thermosynechococcus. | |
| Function: | Part of the oxygen-evolving complex associated with photosystem II (PSII). PSII is a light-driven water plastoquinone oxidoreductase, using light energy to abstract electrons from H(2)O, generating a proton gradient subsequently used for ATP formation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19433803, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23426624}. | |
| Cofactor: | Note=PSII binds multiple chlorophylls, carotenoids and specific lipids. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19433803, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21499260, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23426624}; | |
| Subunit: | The cyanobacterial oxygen-evolving complex is composed of PsbO, PsbP, PsbQ, PsbV and PsbU. PsbP and PsbQ are not seen in the crystal structures; however there is biochemical evidence that they are part of the OEC (By similarity). Cyanobacterial PSII is composed of 1 copy each of membrane proteins PsbA, PsbB, PsbC, PsbD, PsbE, PsbF, PsbH, PsbI, PsbJ, PsbK, PsbL, PsbM, PsbT, PsbX, PsbY, PsbZ, Ycf12, 3 peripheral proteins PsbO, PsbU, PsbV and a large number of cofactors. It forms dimeric complexes. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19433803, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21499260, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23426624}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cellular thylakoid membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19433803, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21499260, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23426624}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19433803}; Lumenal side {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19433803, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21499260, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23426624}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the PsbO family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
