Fungal dual-domain LysM effectors undergo chitin-induced intermolecular, and not intramolecular, dimerization. [PDF]

Plant Physiol, 2022
Abstract Chitin is a homopolymer of β-(1,4)-linked N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) and a major structural component of fungal cell walls. In plants, chitin acts as a microbe-associated molecular pattern (MAMP) that is recognized by lysin motif (LysM)-containing plant cell surface-localized pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) that ...

Chitin colonization, chitin degradation and chitin-induced natural competence of Vibrio cholerae are subject to catabolite repression

Environmental Microbiology, 2012
Although Vibrio cholerae is a human pathogen its primary habitat are aquatic environments. In this environment, V. cholerae takes advantage of the abundance of zooplankton, whose chitinous exoskeletons provide a nutritious surface.

The Arabidopsis small G-protein AtRAN1 is a positive regulator in chitin-induced stomatal closure and disease resistance. [PDF]

Mol Plant Pathol, 2021
AbstractChitin, a fungal microbial‐associated molecular pattern, triggers various defence responses in several plant systems. Although it induces stomatal closure, the molecular mechanisms of its interactions with guard cell signalling pathways are unclear.

Microfluidic Interrogation of Chitin-Induced Calcium Oscillations in the Moss <i>Physcomitrium patens</i>. [PDF]

Plants (Basel)
Plants defend against pathogens such as fungi by initiating coordinated structural and chemical responses. Pathogen perception triggers rapid cytosolic calcium influx and calcium oscillations that drive defense gene expression, yet the mechanisms by which these signals encode stressor intensity and propagate systematically remain unclear.

Comparison of chitin-induced natural transformation in pandemic Vibrio cholerae O1 El Tor strains. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol, 2020
Summary The human pathogen Vibrio cholerae serves as a model organism for many important processes ranging from pathogenesis to natural transformation, which has been extensively studied in this bacterium.

Nepenthes rafflesiana pitcher liquid has antifungal activity against Candida spp. [PDF]

Universa Medicina, 2014
BACKGROUND To develop new effective antifungals, it is essential to search for antifungal compounds from plants such as Nepenthes spp., which have their greatest diversity in Indonesia.

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 ...

Conservation of Chitin-Induced MAPK Signaling Pathways in Rice and Arabidopsis [PDF]

Plant and Cell Physiology, 2017
Perception of microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) including chitin by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) rapidly induces activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades. However, how PRRs transmit immune signals to the MAPK cascade is largely unknown.

Chitin amendments eliminate the negative impacts of continuous cropping obstacles on soil properties and microbial assemblage

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Continuous cropping of soybean leads to soil environment deterioration and soil-borne disease exacerbation, which in turn limits the sustainability of agricultural production.
