Function

[PSBF_THEVL] This b-type cytochrome is tightly associated with the reaction center of photosystem II (PSII). PSII is a light-driven water plastoquinone oxidoreductase, using light energy to abstract electrons from H(2)O, generating a proton gradient subsequently used for ATP formation.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00643] [PSBL_THEVL] This protein is a component of the reaction center of photosystem II (PSII). PSII is a light-driven water plastoquinone oxidoreductase, using light energy to abstract electrons from H(2)O, generating a proton gradient subsequently used for ATP formation.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01317] [PSBJ_THEVL] This protein is a component of the reaction center of photosystem II (PSII). PSII is a light-driven water plastoquinone oxidoreductase, using light energy to abstract electrons from H(2)O, generating a proton gradient subsequently used for ATP formation.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01305] [PSBT_THEVL] Seems to play a role in the dimerization of photosystem II (PSII). PSII is a light-driven water plastoquinone oxidoreductase, using light energy to abstract electrons from H(2)O, generating a proton gradient subsequently used for ATP formation.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00808] [PSBA_THEVL] D1 (PsbA) and D2 (PsbD) bind P680, the primary electron donor of photosystem II (PSII) as well as electron acceptors. PSII is a light-driven water plastoquinone oxidoreductase, using light energy to abstract electrons from H(2)O, generating a proton gradient subsequently used for ATP formation.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01379] [CY550_THEVL] Low-potential cytochrome c that plays a role in the oxygen-evolving complex of photosystem II (PSII). Binds to PSII in the absence of other extrinsic proteins; required for binding of the PsbU protein to photosystem II. In PSII particles without oxygen-evolving activity, maximal activity is restored only by binding of cytochrome c550, PsbU and the 33 kDa PsbO protein. PSII is a light-driven water plastoquinone oxidoreductase, using light energy to abstract electrons from H(2)O, generating a proton gradient subsequently used for ATP formation.^{[1] [2]} [PSBE_THEVL] This b-type cytochrome is tightly associated with the reaction center of photosystem II (PSII). PSII is a light-driven water plastoquinone oxidoreductase, using light energy to abstract electrons from H(2)O, generating a proton gradient subsequently used for ATP formation.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00642]
