Protein Domain : Glycoside hydrolase, family 16, CRH1, predicted IPR017168

Type	Family
Description	This entry represents the glycosidases CRH1, CRH2 and their homologues. These enzymes function as GPI-lipid anchored cell wall proteins (GPI-CWP) that are localised to sites of polarized growth, particularly chitin-rich areas [ ]. These proteins are found at the incipient bud site, as a ring at the bud neck as the bud grows, and in the septum at the time of cytokinesis. The GPI-anchor is attached to the protein in the endoplasmic reticulum and serves to target the protein to the cell surface. There, the glucosamine-inositol phospholipid moiety is cleaved of and the GPI-modified mannoprotein is covalently attached via its lipidless GPI glycan remnant to the 1,6-beta-glucan of the outer cell wall layer.
