Protein Domain : Copper acquisition factor BIM1-like domain IPR046530

Type	Domain
Description	This domain is found in fungal proteins, including copper acquisition factor BIM1 from Cryptococcus neoformans, a cell surface-bound protein that functions in the copper-accumulation pathway shared by the CUF1-dependent copper transporter CTR1 [ , ]. BIM1 facilitates copper acquisition in the brain of mammalian hosts and acts as a copper-dependent virulence trait in fungal meningitis []. This domain has a lytic polysaccharide monooxygenase-like (LPMO) fold, which are evolutionarily related but have diverged to a different biological function.
Short Name	BIM1-like_dom
