UniProt functional annotation for Q9SPI9

UniProt code: Q9SPI9.

Organism: Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (Chlamydomonas smithii).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Viridiplantae; Chlorophyta; core chlorophytes; Chlorophyceae; CS clade; Chlamydomonadales; Chlamydomonadaceae; Chlamydomonas.
 
Function: Stabilizes dimeric photosystem II (PSII). In its absence there is a reduction of monomeric PSII (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q39194}.
 
Subunit: Part of the photosystem II complex. PSII is composed of 1 copy each of membrane proteins PsbA, PsbB, PsbC, PsbD, numerous small proteins, at least 3 peripheral proteins of the oxygen-evolving complex and a large number of cofactors. It forms dimeric complexes. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12856936, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1885590}.
Subcellular location: Plastid, chloroplast thylakoid membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12856936, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1885590}; Single-pass membrane protein. Note=The N-terminus is found within the thylakoid lumen (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q41387}.
Developmental stage: Present in dark-grown plants it increases upon exposure to light. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12856936}.
Similarity: Belongs to the psbW family. {ECO:0000305}.
