The cloning , expression and characterisation of bacterial chitin-binding proteins from pseudomonas aeruginosa , serratia marcescens, photorhabdus luminescens and photorhabdus asymbiotica. [PDF]
, 2011 It is well recognised that most proteins are subject to post translational modifications and that these modifications can have specific effects on the biological properties and functions of these proteins.

The receptor-like cytoplasmic kinase BSR1 mediates chitin-induced defense signaling in rice cells [PDF]
Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2017 Abstract Broad-Spectrum Resistance 1 (BSR1) encodes a rice receptor-like cytoplasmic kinase, and enhances disease resistance when overexpressed. Rice plants overexpressing BSR1 are highly resistant to diverse pathogens, including rice blast fungus.

Improving efficiency and sustainability of chitin bioconversion through a combination of Streptomyces secretomes and mechanical-milling [PDF]
, 2023 Chitin, particularly α-chitin, is the most abundant and highly recalcitrant form, fortified by an intricate network of hydrogen bonds. Efficient valorization of α-chitin requires a mild pre-treatment and enzymatic hydrolysis. Streptomyces spp.

An OsCEBiP/OsCERK1-OsRacGEF1-OsRac1 Module Is an Essential Early Component of Chitin-Induced Rice Immunity [PDF]
Cell Host & Microbe, 2013 OsCEBiP, a chitin-binding protein, and OsCERK1, a receptor-like kinase, are plasma membrane (PM) proteins that form a receptor complex essential for fungal chitin-driven immune responses in rice. The signaling events immediately following chitin perception are unclear. Investigating the spatiotemporal regulation of the rice small GTPase OsRac1, we find

Identification of chitin allomorphs in poorly crystalline samples based on the complexation with ethylenediamine [PDF]
, 2022 Chitin is a key component of hard parts in many organisms, but the biosynthesis of the two distinctive chitin allomorphs, α- and β-chitin, is not well-understood. The accurate determination of chitin allomorphs in natural biomaterials is vital.

Fungal chitin dampens inflammation through IL-10 induction mediated by NOD2 and TLR9 activation.
PLoS Pathogens, 2014 Chitin is an essential structural polysaccharide of fungal pathogens and parasites, but its role in human immune responses remains largely unknown. It is the second most abundant polysaccharide in nature after cellulose and its derivatives today are ...

Bioconversion of chitin-containing wastes for the production of enzymes and bioactive materials
, 2011 The exploitation of chitinous materials seems to be an infinite treasure. The oligosaccharides of chitin/chitosan, prepared by hydrolyzing chitin/chitosan with chitinase/chitosanase, have various potential applications in the fields of food, agricultural,

Fungal Chitin Induces Trained Immunity in Human Monocytes during Cross-talk of the Host with Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2016 The immune system is essential to maintain the mutualistic homeostatic interaction between the host and its micro- and mycobiota. Living as a commensal,Saccharomyces cerevisiaecould potentially shape the immune response in a significant way. We observed thatS.

The Effect of Chitin Size, Shape, Source and Purification Method on Immune Recognition
Molecules, 2014 The animal immune response to chitin is not well understood and needs to be investigated further. However, this is a challenging topic to study because of the technical difficulties in purifying chitin, and because this material usually comes associated ...
