| UniProt functional annotation for P59763 | |||
| UniProt code: P59763. |
| 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), required for its stability and/or assembly (PubMed:7721898). 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:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01316, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7721898}. | |
| 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_01316}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Plastid, chloroplast thylakoid membrane {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01316}; Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_01316}. | |
| Disruption phenotype: | Able to grow photoautotrophically only in dim light, oxygen evolution is 10-20% of wild-type, reduced accumulation of protein D1 (PsbA). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7721898}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the PsbI family. {ECO:0000255|HAMAP- Rule:MF_01316}. | |
