Welcome to LYPs !

As a plant specific PRR family, the functions of lysin motif (LysM) containing proteins (LYPs) in fungal and bacterial microbe perceptions have been well studied in rice and Arabidopsis. LYPs are common in land plants and may have evolved before land colonization and symbiosis with mycorrhiza as a signaling module, and most of LYPs that have been characterized were related to the perception of N-acetyl glucosamine containing molecules and/or to be involved in plant-microbe interaction pathway including activating of defense responses and establishment of root endosymbioses. Lysin motif-containing proteins (LYP), which act as pattern-recognition receptors, play central roles in growth, node formation, and responses to biotic stresses.
