Carbohydrate-binding X8 domain-containing protein, plant
InterPro entry
Short name | X8_dom_prot |
Description
This entry represents a group of plant proteins, including Ole e 10 from Olea europaea (Common olive), and PLASMODESMATA CALLOSE-BINDING PROTEIN 1-8 (PDCB1-8)/CBX8D from Arabidopsis. They contain the carbohydrate-binding module, which is the most common non-catalytic module associated with enzymes active in plant cell-wall hydrolysis. Ole e 10 has been shown to bind preferentially 1,3-beta-glucans. It is a major pollen allergen that may be involved in pollen tube wall re-formation during germination
[1]. In Arabidopsis, PDCBs may be involved in cell-to-cell trafficking regulation
[2].
