ChtBD1 Chitin binding domain

SMART accession number:	SM00270
Description:
Interpro abstract (IPR001002):	A number of plant and fungal proteins that bind N-acetylglucosamine (e.g. solanaceous lectins of tomato and potato, plant endochitinases, the wound-induced proteins: hevein, win1 and win2, and the Kluyveromyces lactis killer toxin alpha subunit) contain this domain [(PUBMED:1757999)]. The domain may occur in one or more copies and is thought to be involved in recognition or binding of chitin subunits [(PUBMED:2070799), (PUBMED:1375935)]. In chitinases, as well as in the potato wound-induced proteins, the 43-residue domain directly follows the signal sequence and is therefore at the N terminus of the mature protein; in the killer toxin alpha subunit it is located in the central section of the protein.
GO function:	chitin binding (GO:0008061)
Family alignment:	View or CHROMA formatCLUSTALW formatMSF formatFASTA formatPIR format

  % proteins involved KEGG pathway ID Description 100.00 map00530 Aminosugars metabolism This information is based on mapping of SMART genomic protein database to KEGG orthologous groups. Percentage points are related to the number of proteins with ChtBD1 domain which could be assigned to a KEGG orthologous group, and not all proteins containing ChtBD1 domain. Please note that proteins can be included in multiple pathways, ie. the numbers above will not always add up to 100%.
