Function

[PSAC_PEA] Apoprotein for the two 4Fe-4S centers FA and FB of photosystem I (PSI); essential for photochemical activity. FB is the terminal electron acceptor of PSI, donating electrons to ferredoxin. The C-terminus interacts with PsaA/B/D and helps assemble the protein into the PSI complex. Required for binding of PsaD and PsaE to PSI. PSI is a plastocyanin-ferredoxin oxidoreductase, converting photonic excitation into a charge separation, which transfers an electron from the donor P700 chlorophyll pair to the spectroscopically characterized acceptors A0, A1, FX, FA and FB in turn (By similarity).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01303] [PSAI_PEA] May help in the organization of the PsaL subunit. [A0A0F6NGI2_PEA] PsaA and PsaB bind P700, the primary electron donor of photosystem I (PSI), as well as the electron acceptors A0, A1 and FX. PSI is a plastocyanin-ferredoxin oxidoreductase, converting photonic excitation into a charge separation, which transfers an electron from the donor P700 chlorophyll pair to the spectroscopically characterized acceptors A0, A1, FX, FA and FB in turn. Oxidized P700 is reduced on the lumenal side of the thylakoid membrane by plastocyanin.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00482] [CB23_PEA] The light-harvesting complex (LHC) functions as a light receptor, it captures and delivers excitation energy to photosystems with which it is closely associated.^[1] May channel protons produced in the catalytic Mn center of water oxidation into the thylakoid lumen.^[2] [D5MAL3_PEA] May help in the organization of the PsaE and PsaF subunits.[HAMAP-Rule:MF_00522] [CB24_PEA] The light-harvesting complex (LHC) functions as a light receptor, it captures and delivers excitation energy to photosystems with which it is closely associated.^[3] May channel protons produced in the catalytic Mn center of water oxidation into the thylakoid lumen.^[4] [PSAA_PEA] PsaA and PsaB bind P700, the primary electron donor of photosystem I (PSI), as well as the electron acceptors A0, A1 and FX.
