Ubiquinol Cytochrome C Reductase Binding Protein (UQCRB)

UQCRB is a subunit of the respiratory chain protein Ubiquinol Cytochrome c Reductase (UQCR,Complex III or Cytochrome bc1 complex), Subunit 7 was identified as a Q-binding protein by photo-labeling with a ubiquinone analog (subsequent structures show it to be exposed to the lipid phase but not involved in either Q-binding site). Subunits 6 and 7 reverse position on going from Laemli gels to Weber&Osborne gels, and one might suspect the name "Q-binding protein" arose from confusion with subunit 7. I have been told however that this is not the case, and both proteins were separately identified as Q-binding proteins. Genome anotators improved the situation by naming its gene "UQCR binding", UQCRB.
