| UniProt functional annotation for P37255 | |||
| UniProt code: P37255. |
| 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). It binds chlorophyll and helps catalyze the primary light- induced photochemical processes of PSII. PSII is a light-driven water:plastoquinone oxidoreductase, using light energy to abstract electrons from H(2)O, generating O(2) and a proton gradient subsequently used for ATP formation. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01495}. | |
| Cofactor: | Note=Binds multiple chlorophylls. PSII binds additional chlorophylls, carotenoids and specific lipids. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01495}; | |
| 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_01495}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Plastid, chloroplast thylakoid membrane {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01495}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01495}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the PsbB/PsbC family. PsbB subfamily. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01495}. | |
