| Primary Identifier | IPR003683 | Type | Family |
| Short Name | Cyt_6/f_cplx_su5 |
| description | This family consists of cytochrome b6/f complex subunit 5 (PetG). The cytochrome bf complex, found in green plants, eukaryotic algae and cyanobacteria, connects photosystem I to photosystem II in the electron transport chain, functioning as a plastoquinol:plastocyanin/cytochrome c6 oxidoreductase []. The purified complex from the unicellular alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii contains seven subunits; namely four high molecular weight subunits (cytochrome f, Rieske iron-sulphur protein, cytochrome b6, and subunit IV) and three approximately miniproteins (PetG, PetL, and PetX) []. Stoichiometry measurements are consistent with every subunit being present as two copies per b6/f dimer. The absence of PetG affects either the assembly or stability of the cytochrome bf complex in C. reinhardtii []. |
