UniProt functional annotation for D0VWR8



	UniProt functional annotation for D0VWR8

UniProt code: D0VWR8.

Organism: Thermosynechococcus vulcanus (Synechococcus vulcanus).

Taxonomy: Bacteria; Cyanobacteria; Synechococcales; Synechococcaceae; Thermosynechococcus.

Function: Photosystem II (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. The D1/D2 (PsbA/PsbA) reaction center heterodimer binds P680, the primary electron donor of PSII as well as several subsequent electron acceptors (PubMed:19433803, PubMed:23426624). D2 is needed for assembly of a stable PSII complex. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_01383, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19433803, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23426624}.

Cofactor: Note=The D1/D2 heterodimer binds P680, chlorophylls that are the primary electron donor of PSII, and subsequent electron acceptors. It shares a non-heme iron and each subunit binds pheophytin, quinone, additional chlorophylls, carotenoids and lipids. There is also a Cl(-1) ion associated with D1 and D2, which is required for oxygen evolution. The PSII complex binds additional chlorophylls, carotenoids and specific lipids. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01383, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12518057, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19433803, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21499260, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23426624};
