Comments [?]

case <OC:Heliobacteriaceae>
Function Component of the cytochrome bc complex which donates electrons to the photosynthetic reaction center.
Cofactor heme
Note: Binds 2 heme groups. One heme group is bound covalently by a single cysteine link, the other one non-covalently.
Subunit The subunits of the cytochrome bc complex are a Rieske Fe-S protein (PetC), cytochrome b6 (PetB), subunit IV (PetD), and a diheme cytochrome c (PetX).
else case not <OC:Heliobacteriaceae>
Function Component of the cytochrome b6-f complex, which mediates electron transfer between photosystem II (PSII) and photosystem I (PSI), cyclic electron flow around PSI, and state transitions.
Cofactor heme
Note: Binds 2 heme groups. One heme group is bound covalently by a single cysteine link, the other one non-covalently.
Subunit The 4 large subunits of the cytochrome b6-f complex are cytochrome b6, subunit IV (17 kDa polypeptide, PetD), cytochrome f and the Rieske protein, while the 4 small subunits are PetG, PetL, PetM and PetN. The complex functions as a dimer.
end case
case <OC:Heliobacteriaceae>
Subcellular location Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
else case <OG:Chloroplast>
Subcellular location Plastid, chloroplast thylakoid membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
else case <OC:Gloeobacter>
Subcellular location Cell inner membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
else
Subcellular location Cellular thylakoid membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
end case
Miscellaneous Heme 1 (or BH or b566) is high-potential and absorbs at about 566 nm, and heme 2 (or BL or b562) is low-potential and absorbs at about 562 nm.
Similarity Belongs to the cytochrome b family. PetB subfamily.

Comments In maize and tobacco position 204 has been shown to undergo RNA editing to change the codon from Pro to Leu. It has therefore been suggested to occur in all other plants where this codon is Pro (CCA -> CTA). In C.reinhardtii an engineered Pro mutation at this position is unable to assemble intact complex, giving strength to this suggestion.
