| UniProt functional annotation for P12333 | |||
| UniProt code: P12333. |
| Organism: | Spinacia oleracea (Spinach). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Viridiplantae; Streptophyta; Embryophyta; Tracheophyta; Spermatophyta; Magnoliopsida; eudicotyledons; Gunneridae; Pentapetalae; Caryophyllales; Chenopodiaceae; Chenopodioideae; Anserineae; Spinacia. | |
| Function: | The light-harvesting complex (LHC) functions as a light receptor, it captures and delivers excitation energy to photosystems with which it is closely associated. | |
| Cofactor: | Note=Binds at least 14 chlorophylls (8 Chl-a and 6 Chl-b) and carotenoids such as lutein and neoxanthin. {ECO:0000305|PubMed:15029188, ECO:0000305|PubMed:24482437}; | |
| Subunit: | The LHC complex consists of chlorophyll a-b binding proteins. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15029188}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Plastid, chloroplast thylakoid membrane; Multi- pass membrane protein. | |
| Domain: | The N-terminus of the protein extends into the stroma where it is involved with adhesion of granal membranes and post-translational modifications; both are believed to mediate the distribution of excitation energy between photosystems I and II. | |
| Ptm: | Photoregulated by reversible phosphorylation of its threonine residues. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1894641}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b-binding (LHC) protein family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
