UniProt functional annotation for Q8DJZ6

UniProt code: Q8DJZ6.

Organism: Thermosynechococcus elongatus (strain BP-1).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Cyanobacteria; Synechococcales; Synechococcaceae; Thermosynechococcus.
 
Function: One of the components of the core complex of photosystem II (PSII). May be required for formation of PSII dimers but not their subsequent stability (PubMed:21195048). 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. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01316, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20558739, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21195048, 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: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, at least 3 peripheral proteins PsbO, PsbU, PsbV and a large number of cofactors. It forms dimeric complexes. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01316, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14764885, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16355230, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19219048, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20558739, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21195048, 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_01316, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14764885, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16355230, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17935689, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19219048, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20558739, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21195048, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21367867, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22665786, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23413188, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25006873, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25043005}; Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01316, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14764885, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16355230, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17935689, 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}.
Mass spectrometry: Mass=4437; Mass_error=4; Method=MALDI; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:19219048};
Mass spectrometry: Mass=4435; Method=MALDI; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:20558739};
Disruption phenotype: Decreased yields of PSII dimers with increased PSII monomers, slightly slower photoautotrophic growth, about 20% less oxygen evolution. Formed PSII dimers are stable. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21195048}.
Similarity: Belongs to the PsbI family. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_01316}.
