FunctionQ76FN8_SARFS Functions as an electron carrier between membrane-bound cytochrome b6-f and photosystem I in oxygenic photosynthesis.[ARBA:ARBA00002347] Evolutionary Conservation![]() Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedThe primary sequence of cytochrome c(6) from the brown alga Hizikia fusiformis has been determined by cDNA cloning and the crystal structure has been solved at 1.6 A resolution. The crystal belonged to the tetragonal space group P4(1)2(1)2, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 84.58, c = 232.91 A and six molecules per asymmetric unit. The genome code, amino-acid sequence and crystal structure of H. fusiformis cytochrome c(6) were most similar to those of red algal cytochrome c(6). These results support the hypothesis that brown algae acquired their chloroplasts via secondary endosymbiosis involving a red algal endosymbiont and a eukaryote host.
