UniProt functional annotation for P07173

UniProt code: P07173.

Organism: Blastochloris viridis (Rhodopseudomonas viridis).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Alphaproteobacteria; Rhizobiales; Hyphomicrobiaceae; Blastochloris.
 
Function: The reaction center of purple bacteria contains a tightly bound cytochrome molecule which re-reduces the photo oxidized primary electron donor. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10736158}.
 
Biophysicochemical properties: Redox potential: E(0) is -60 mV for heme 1. E(0) is +320 mV for heme 2. E(0) is +380 mV for heme 3. E(0) is +15 mV for heme 4. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10736158};
Subunit: Component of the photosynthetic reaction center composed of protein subunits L (PufL), M (PufM), H (PuhA) and cytochrome C (PufC). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10024457, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22054235, ECO:0000269|PubMed:6392571, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9351808, ECO:0000269|Ref.7}.
Subcellular location: Cellular chromatophore membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10024457, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9351808}; Lipid-anchor {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22054235, ECO:0000269|Ref.4}.
Ptm: Binds 4 heme groups per subunit. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10024457, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10736158, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22054235, ECO:0000269|PubMed:6392571, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9351808, ECO:0000269|Ref.7}.
Ptm: After the signal sequence is removed, the N-terminal cysteine is modified to form a diacylglyceride thioether, but the alpha-amino group is free and is not N-palmitoylated. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22054235, ECO:0000269|Ref.4}.
Disruption phenotype: Lack of photosynthesis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10736158}.
