UniProt functional annotation for P0A431

UniProt code: P0A431.

Organism: Thermosynechococcus elongatus (strain BP-1).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Cyanobacteria; Synechococcales; Synechococcaceae; Thermosynechococcus.
 
Function: Part of the oxygen-evolving complex associated with photosystem II (PSII). 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: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: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: The cyanobacterial oxygen-evolving complex is composed of PsbO, PsbP, PsbQ, PsbV and PsbU. PsbP and PsbQ are not seen in the crystal structures; however there is biochemical evidence that they are part of the OEC (By similarity). 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:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14764885, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16355230, 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}.
