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 ...

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.

Chitin Triggers Tissue-Specific Immunity in Wheat Associated With Fusarium Head Blight

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Fusarium graminearum is one of the primary causal agents of Fusarium head blight (FHB) on wheat and barley. FHB reduces grain yield and contaminates grain with various mycotoxins, including deoxynivalenol (DON).
