UniProt functional annotation for Q8DHJ2

UniProt code: Q8DHJ2.

Organism: Thermosynechococcus elongatus (strain BP-1).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Cyanobacteria; Synechococcales; Synechococcaceae; Thermosynechococcus.
 
Function: Controls the interaction of photosystem II (PSII) cores with the light-harvesting antenna. May also aid in binding of PsbK, Ycf12 and the oxygen-evolving complex to PSII, at least in vitro. 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_00644, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17967798, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20558739, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21367867, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25006873}.
 
Cofactor: Note=PSII binds multiple chlorophylls, carotenoids and specific lipids. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14764885, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16355230, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17935689, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17967798, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19219048, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20558739, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21367867, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22665786, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23413188, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25006873, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25043005};
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:14764885, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16355230, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17935689, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17967798, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19219048, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20558739, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21367867, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22665786, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23413188, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25006873, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25043005}.
Subcellular location: Cellular thylakoid membrane {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_00644, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14764885, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16355230, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17935689, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17967798, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19219048, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20558739, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21367867, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22665786, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23413188, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25006873, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25043005}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00644, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14764885, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16355230, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17935689, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17967798, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19219048, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20558739, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21367867, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22665786, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23413188, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25006873, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25043005}. Note=Associated with the photosystem II complex.
Mass spectrometry: Mass=6798; Mass_error=5; Method=MALDI; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:19219048};
Mass spectrometry: Mass=6793; Method=MALDI; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:20558739};
Disruption phenotype: Cells grow normally under all light regimes tested; it is dispensable for photoautotrophic growth. The deletion strain is more tolerant to photoinhibition, while isolated PSII complex contains less PsbK and Ycf12 than wild-type and also has reduced oxygen-evolving capacity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17967798}.
Similarity: Belongs to the PsbZ family. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_00644}.
