Chitin-Induced Carbotype Conversion in Vibrio vulnificus [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 2011
ABSTRACT As an etiological agent of bacterial sepsis and wound infections, Vibrio vulnificus is unique among the Vibrionaceae . The most intensely studied of its virulence factors is the capsular polysaccharide (CPS).

Two transmembrane transcriptional regulators coordinate to activate chitin-induced natural transformation in Vibrio cholerae. [PDF]

PLoS Genet
ABSTRACT Transcriptional regulators are a broad class of proteins that alter gene expression in response to environmental stimuli. Transmembrane transcriptional regulators (TTRs) are a subset of transcriptional regulators in bacteria that can directly regulate gene expression while remaining anchored in the membrane ...

Conversion of a recA-Mediated Non-toxigenic Vibrio cholerae O1 Strain to a Toxigenic Strain Using Chitin-Induced Transformation [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Toxigenic Vibrio cholerae strains, including strains in serogroups O1 and O139 associated with the clinical disease cholera, are ubiquitous in aquatic reservoirs, including fresh, estuarine, and marine environments.

The kinase LYK5 is a major chitin receptor in Arabidopsis and forms a chitin-induced complex with related kinase CERK1

eLife, 2014
Chitin is a fungal microbe-associated molecular pattern recognized in Arabidopsis by a lysin motif receptor kinase (LYK), AtCERK1. Previous research suggested that AtCERK1 is the major chitin receptor and mediates chitin-induced signaling through ...

Chitin-induced activation of immune signaling by the rice receptor CEBiP relies on a unique sandwich-type dimerization [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2014
Significance Chitin perception by plant receptors triggers various defense responses important for plant immunity. We show the molecular basis of chitin recognition by the rice receptor, CEBiP (chitin-elicitor binding protein), and following receptor dimerization based on the results of biochemical studies ...

Integration of gene expression analysis and molecular docking in revealing stress-responsive functions of potato chitinases [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Chitin, a long-chain polymer of N-acetylglucosamine units, is a major structural component of the cell walls of many fungi and oomycetes and serves as a strong potent elicitor of plant immune responses.

RNAi in the Rhizarian Phytopathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae: The Causal Agent of Clubroot Disease in Cruciferous Crops. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
This study uncovers an unusual RNAi pathway in the rhizarian pathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae. In the absence of Dicer, a Drosha‐like RNase III protein supports the biogenesis of predominant 21‐nt small RNAs, and two Argonaute proteins mediate small RNA‐guided silencing.
