UniProt functional annotation for Q3J5G0

UniProt code: Q3J5G0.

Organism: Rhodobacter sphaeroides (strain ATCC 17023 / DSM 158 / JCM 6121 / NBRC 12203 / NCIMB 8253 / ATH 2.4.1.) (Cereibacter sphaeroides).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Alphaproteobacteria; Rhodobacterales; Rhodobacteraceae; Luteovulum.
 
Function: Subunits I and II form the functional core of the enzyme complex. Electrons originating in cytochrome c are transferred via heme a and Cu(A) to the binuclear center formed by heme a3 and Cu(B). {ECO:0000256|RuleBase:RU004024}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=4 [Fe(II)cytochrome c] + 4 H(+) + O2 = 4 [Fe(III)cytochrome c] + 2 H2O; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:11436, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:10350, Rhea:RHEA- COMP:14399, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:15379, ChEBI:CHEBI:29033, ChEBI:CHEBI:29034; EC=7.1.1.9; Evidence={ECO:0000256|ARBA:ARBA00000342, ECO:0000256|RuleBase:RU004024};
Cofactor: Name=Cu cation; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:23378; Evidence={ECO:0000256|RuleBase:RU004024}; Note=Binds a copper A center. {ECO:0000256|RuleBase:RU004024};
Subcellular location: Cell membrane {ECO:0000256|RuleBase:RU000456}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000256|RuleBase:RU000456}. Membrane {ECO:0000256|ARBA:ARBA00004141}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000256|ARBA:ARBA00004141}.
Similarity: Belongs to the cytochrome c oxidase subunit 2 family. {ECO:0000256|RuleBase:RU000456}.
