Structural highlights
There is a two-domain assembly which is made up of an eight-bladed β-propeller interrupted by a β-prism domain. There are metal-binding sites, which appear to help more with the structure of the protein than the function of it. Bap1 exhibits lectin activity and is believed anionic or linear polysaccharides are preferred.
