LysM-containing proteins (receptors), pattern recognition receptors, capable of sensing bacterial peptidoglycan (PGN) and fungal chitin. But do not recognize lipopolysaccharide (LPS) . Functions in innate immunity. Functions as pattern recognition receptor (PRR), sensing bacterial peptidoglycan (PGN) and fungal chitin at the cell surface. Involved in resistance against the bacterial pathogen Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) and the fungal pathogen Magnaporthe oryzae.
