PROSITE documentation PDOC00464Cytochrome b559 subunits heme-binding site signature
Description
Cytochrome b559 [1] is an essential component of photosystem II complex from oxygenic photosynthetic organisms. It is an integral thylakoid membrane protein composed of two subunits, α (gene psbE) and β (gene psbF), each of which contains a histidine residue located in a transmembrane region. The two histidines coordinate the heme iron of cytochrome b559.
The region around the heme-binding residue of both subunits is very similar and can be used as a signature pattern.
