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 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 ...

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).

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

Three LysM effectors of Zymoseptoria tritici collectively disarm chitin‐triggered plant immunity [PDF]

, 2021
Chitin is a major structural component of fungal cell walls and acts as a microbe‐associated molecular pattern (MAMP) that, on recognition by a plant host, triggers the activation of immune responses.

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 ...

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.

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 ...
