Protein attributes

Sequence length	215 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Protein existence	Evidence at transcript level

General annotation (Comments)

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 By similarity. HAMAP MF_00633
Cofactor	Binds 2 heme groups. One heme group is bound covalently by a single cysteine link, the other one non-covalently By similarity.
Subunit structure	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 By similarity.
Subcellular location	Plastid › chloroplast thylakoid membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein By similarity HAMAP MF_00633.
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 By similarity. HAMAP MF_00633
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the cytochrome b family. PetB subfamily.
RNA editing	Edited at position 204. Editing is independent of both splicing and processing of the primary transcript. Ref.2
