| UniProt functional annotation for D0VWR5 | |||
| UniProt code: D0VWR5. |
| Organism: | Thermosynechococcus vulcanus (Synechococcus vulcanus). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Cyanobacteria; Synechococcales; Synechococcaceae; Thermosynechococcus. | |
| Function: | Controls the interaction of photosystem II (PSII) cores with the light-harvesting antenna. 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:12518057, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19433803, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21499260, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23426624}; | |
| Subunit: | 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:0000269|PubMed:12518057, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19433803, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21499260, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23426624}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cellular thylakoid membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12518057, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19433803, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21499260, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23426624}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12518057, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19433803, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21499260, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23426624}. Note=Associated with the photosystem II complex. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the PsbZ family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
