Cell wall protein that participates directly in adhesive cell-cell interactions during yeast flocculation, a reversible, asexual and Ca(2+)-dependent process in which cells adhere to form aggregates (flocs) consisting of thousands of cells. The lectin-like protein sticks out of the cell wall of flocculent cells and selectively binds mannose residues in the cell walls of adjacent cells. Covalently-linked GPI-modified cell wall protein (GPI-CWP). The number of the intragenic tandem repeats varies between different S.cerevisiae strains. There is a linear correlation between protein size and the extend of adhesion: the more repeats, the stronger the adhesion properties and the greater the fraction of flocculating cells (By similarity). The Ser/Thr-rich repeats are also important for proper cell wall targeting of the protein. The GPI-anchor is attached to the protein in the endoplasmic reticulum and serves to target the protein to the cell surface. There, the glucosamine-inositol phospholipid moiety is cleaved off and the GPI-modified mannoprotein is covalently attached via its lipidless GPI glycan remnant to the 1,6-beta-glucan of the outer cell wall layer (By similarity). Belongs to the flocculin family.
