| UniProt functional annotation for P0A387 | |||
| UniProt code: P0A387. |
| Organism: | Thermosynechococcus vulcanus (Synechococcus vulcanus). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Cyanobacteria; Synechococcales; Synechococcaceae; Thermosynechococcus. | |
| Function: | Low-potential cytochrome c that plays a role in the oxygen- evolving complex of photosystem II (PSII). Binds to PSII in the absence of other extrinsic proteins; required for binding of the PsbU protein to photosystem II. In PSII particles without oxygen-evolving activity, maximal activity is restored only by binding of cytochrome c550, PsbU and the 33 kDa PsbO protein. 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:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01378, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1314738, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19433803, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23426624, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8382523}. | |
| Cofactor: | Note=Binds 1 heme group covalently per subunit. PSII binds multiple chlorophylls, carotenoids and specific lipids. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_01378, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12518057, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19433803, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21499260, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23426624, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8397205}; | |
| Subunit: | The cyanobacterial oxygen-evolving complex is composed of PsbO, PsbP, PsbQ, PsbV and PsbU (Probable). PsbP and PsbQ are not seen in the crystal structures; however there is biochemical evidence that they are part of the OEC. 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:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01378, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12461137, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12518057, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1314738, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19433803, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21499260, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23426624, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8397205}. | |

Note=Associated with photosystem II at the lumenal side of the thylakoid membrane. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the cytochrome c family. PsbV subfamily. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01378}. | |
