Enzyme Information

7.1.1.6
Plastoquinol--plastocyanin reductase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q93SX0
Plastoquinol + 2 oxidized plastocyanin + 2 H(+)(Side 1) = plastoquinone + 2 reduced plastocyanin + 4 H(+)(Side 2).
-!- Contains two b-type cytochromes, two c-type cytochromes (c(n) and f), and a [2Fe-2S] Rieske cluster. -!- The enzyme plays a key role in photosynthesis, transferring electrons from photosystem II (EC 1.10.3.9) to photosystem I (EC 1.97.1.12). -!- Cytochrome c-552 can act as acceptor instead of plastocyanin, but more slowly. -!- In chloroplasts, protons are translocated through the thylakoid membrane from the lumen to the stroma. -!- The mechanism occurs through the Q cycle as in EC 7.1.1.8 (complex III) and involves electron bifurcation. -!- Formerly EC 1.10.9.1 and EC 1.10.99.1.
