Flocculation protein FLO11

UniProtKB accession:  P08640

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Homophilic binding protein that enables kin discrimination in heterogeneous yeast populations by mediating homotypic cell-cell interactions during flocculation, a reversible and asexual process in which cells adhere to form aggregates (flocs) (PubMed:32286952, PubMed:25960408, PubMed:27547826, PubMed:17921350, PubMed:22129043). Plays a role in cell-substrate adhesion, haploid invasive growth, diploid pseudohyphae formation and biofilm (flor) development (PubMed:18001350, PubMed:11027318, PubMed:11157168, PubMed:16043420, PubMed:17921350, PubMed:20619652, PubMed:8710886, PubMed:8955395). Adhesive activity is inhibited by mannose, but not by glucose, maltose, sucrose or galactose (PubMed:16043420, PubMed:22129043).
