A secreted LysM effector protects fungal hyphae through chitin-dependent homodimer polymerization.

PLoS Pathogens, 2020
Plants trigger immune responses upon recognition of fungal cell wall chitin, followed by the release of various antimicrobials, including chitinase enzymes that hydrolyze chitin.

Polymeric N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine (Chitin) Induces Histionic Activation in Dogs.

Journal of Veterinary Medical Science, 1993
Analyses on the effects of polymeric N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (chitin), which was obtained from squid pen, on histiogenic activation in dogs were carried out with subcutaneous implants (5 x 5 cm2) of polyester non-woven fabric (NWF) supplemented with chitin (chitin group) and NWF (control group).

Polymeric N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine (Chitin) Induces Prostaglandin E2 in Dogs.

Journal of Veterinary Medical Science, 1995
The level of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in the exudate induced by subcutaneous implantation of a complex formed from non-woven fabric of polyester (NWF) and polymeric N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (chitin) (chitin/NWF) or by implantation of NWF in dogs was measured by radioimmunoassay.

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.

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

The Flower-Infecting Fungus Ustilaginoidea virens Subverts Plant Immunity by Secreting a Chitin-Binding Protein

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Ustilaginoidea virens is a biotrophic fungal pathogen specifically colonizing rice floral organ and causes false smut disease of rice. This disease has emerged as a serious problem that hinders the application of high-yield rice cultivars, by reducing ...

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 ...

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.

Proteomic and Transcriptomic Analyses to Decipher the Chitinolytic Response of Jeongeupia spp.

Marine Drugs, 2023
In nature, chitin, the most abundant marine biopolymer, does not accumulate due to the action of chitinolytic organisms, whose saccharification systems provide instructional blueprints for effective chitin conversion.
