The class V plant chitinases have a glycosyl hydrolase family 18 (GH18) domain, but lack the chitin-binding domain present in other GH18 enzymes. The GH18 domain of the class V chitinases has endochitinase activity in some cases and no catalytic activity in others. Included in this family is a lectin found in black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) bark, which binds chitin but lacks chitinase activity. Also included is a chitinase-related receptor-like kinase (CHRK1) from tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum), with an N-terminal GH18 domain and a C-terminal kinase domain, which is thought to be part of a plant signaling pathway. The GH18 domain of CHRK1 is expressed extracellularly where it binds chitin but lacks chitinase activity.
No pairwise interactions are available for this conserved domain.
Tips:  If you've navigated here from a protein, hovering over a position on the weblogo will display the corresponding protein position for that domain position. The histograms below the weblogo indicate mutations found on the domain. Red is for disease (OMIM) and blue is for SNPs. Functional Features are displayed as orange boxes under the histograms. You can choose which features are displayed in the box below. Range on the Protein: Protein ID Protein Position Domain Position:
