Photosystem II reaction center protein L

UniProtKB accession:  P60150

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  One of the components of the core complex of photosystem II (PSII). PSII is a light-driven water:plastoquinone oxidoreductase that uses light energy to abstract electrons from H(2)O, generating O(2) and a proton gradient subsequently used for ATP formation. It consists of a core antenna complex that captures photons, and an electron transfer chain that converts photonic excitation into a charge separation. This subunit is found at the monomer-monomer interface and is required for correct PSII assembly and/or dimerization (By similarity). Probably involved in PSII assembly (PubMed:7957890). May be involved in PSII dimerization (PubMed:9632665).
