UniProt functional annotation for P12312



	UniProt functional annotation for P12312

UniProt code: P12312.

Organism: Thermosynechococcus vulcanus (Synechococcus vulcanus).

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 (PubMed:19433803, PubMed:23426624). 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:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8DHA7, ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00438, 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: 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, at least 3 peripheral proteins PsbO, PsbU, PsbV and a large number of cofactors. It forms dimeric complexes. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00438, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12461137, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19433803, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21499260, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23426624}.

Subcellular location: Cellular thylakoid membrane {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_00438, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19433803, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21499260, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23426624}; Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00438, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19433803, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21499260, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23426624}.

Similarity: Belongs to the PsbM family. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_00438}.
