Organism
Halorhodospira halophila (strain DSM 244 / SL1)
Function
May function as a riboflavin storage protein that binds and sequesters riboflavin, thereby protecting cells against undesirable reactions mediated by free riboflavin. Protects bound flavin against light damage; flavin fluorescence is rapidly quenched by interaction with Trp-39.
Similarity
Belongs to the dodecin family.
