UniProt functional annotation for P19054

UniProt code: P19054.

Organism: Thermosynechococcus vulcanus (Synechococcus vulcanus).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Cyanobacteria; Synechococcales; Synechococcaceae; Thermosynechococcus.
 
Function: One of the components of the core complex of photosystem II (PSII). 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:0000269|PubMed:19433803, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23426624}.
 
Cofactor: Note=PSII binds multiple chlorophylls, carotenoids and specific lipids. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12518057, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19433803, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21499260, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23426624};
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:0000269|PubMed:12461137, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12518057, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19433803, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21499260, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23426624, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2493396}.
Subcellular location: Cellular thylakoid membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12518057, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19433803, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21499260, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23426624, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2493396}; Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12518057, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19433803, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21499260, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23426624}.
Similarity: Belongs to the PsbK family. {ECO:0000305}.
