UniProt functional annotation for P32974

UniProt code: P32974.

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. This subunit is found at the monomer-monomer interface and is required for correct PSII assembly and/or dimerization. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_01317}.
 
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. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01317}.
Subcellular location: Plastid, chloroplast thylakoid membrane {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01317}; Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01317}.
Similarity: Belongs to the PsbL family. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_01317}.
Sequence caution: Sequence=CAA46978.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Note=Extended N-terminus.; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; Sequence=DAA00945.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Note=Extended N-terminus.; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
