Protein
Photosystem II reaction center protein Z
Organism
Thermosynechococcus elongatus (strain BP-1)
Function
Controls the interaction of photosystem II (PSII) cores with the light-harvesting antenna. May also aid in binding of PsbK, Ycf12 and the oxygen-evolving complex to PSII, at least in vitro. 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.
Similarity
Belongs to the PsbZ family.
