Function
FUTA1_SYNY3 Plays an important role in protecting the acceptor side of photosystem II (PSII) against oxidative damage, especially under iron-limiting growth conditions (Probable). The differing subcellular locations of futA1 (predominantly thylakoid lumen) and futA2 (predominantly periplasmic) suggest they may fulfill different roles.[1] A major iron-binding protein involved in Fe(3+) uptake, probably part of a periplasmic ABC transporter complex futA1A2BC (TC 3.A.1.10.2) involved in Fe(3+) ion import (ferric iron). This protein and futA2 (slr0531) may be subunit proteins that have redundant or overlapping substrate-binding functions (Probable).[2]
