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 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.

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.
