| UniProt functional annotation for P18263 | |||
| UniProt code: P18263. |
| Organism: | Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (Chlamydomonas smithii). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Viridiplantae; Chlorophyta; core chlorophytes; Chlorophyceae; CS clade; Chlamydomonadales; Chlamydomonadaceae; Chlamydomonas. | |
| 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. Required for assembly and/or stability of PSII (PubMed:12939265, PubMed:8193302). {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00441, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12939265, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8193302}. | |
| Subunit: | 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 of the oxygen- evolving complex and a large number of cofactors. It forms dimeric complexes. This protein is tightly associated with CP43 (psbC), one of the core proteins (PubMed:12939265). {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00441, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12939265, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1885590}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Plastid, chloroplast thylakoid membrane {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00441, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12939265, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1885590}; Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_00441, ECO:0000305|PubMed:12939265}. | |
| Disruption phenotype: | Not able to grow photoautotrophically, grows normally heterotrophically. Accumulates less than 10% PSII, although the subunits are synthesized normally. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8193302}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the PsbK family. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_00441}. | |
