Nepenthes khasiana's chitin-induced pitcher liquid: a potential treatment for opportunistic fungal infection [PDF]

Carnivorous Plant Newsletter, 2013
The endangered tropical pitcher plant Nepenthes khasiana has evolved mechanisms to lure, capture, and digest prey animals. Under special circumstances, Nepenthes pitcher liquid will also contain potent antifungal compounds called naphthoquinones. Their purpose, it is believed, is to prevent captured prey from being consumed by fungi, a competing ...

Chitin-induced activation of immune signaling by the rice receptor CEBiP relies on a unique sandwich-type dimerization [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014
Significance Chitin perception by plant receptors triggers various defense responses important for plant immunity. We show the molecular basis of chitin recognition by the rice receptor, CEBiP (chitin-elicitor binding protein), and following receptor dimerization based on the results of biochemical studies, epitope mapping by ...

KNR4, a suppressor of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cwh mutants, is involved in the transcriptional control of chitin synthase genes

, 1999
The KNR4 gene, originally isolated by complementation of a K9 killer-toxinresistant mutant displaying reduced levels of both 1,3-b-glucan and 1,3-bglucan synthase activity, was recloned from a YCp50 genomic library as a suppressor of Saccharomyces ...

Chitin-Induced Gene Expression in Secondary Metabolic Pathways of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) Grown in Soil [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2013
ABSTRACTMicroarray analyses revealed that the expression of genes for secondary metabolism together with that of primary metabolic genes was induced by chitin in autoclaved soil cultures ofStreptomyces coelicolorA3(2). The data also indicated that DasR was involved in the regulation of gene expression for chitin catabolism, secondary metabolism, and ...

Wood Cellulosic Membrane With Abundant Nanochannels for Stabilizing Aqueous Zn‐Ion Batteries

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A wood‐derived cellulosic membrane separator is developed to suppress dendrite growth in aqueous zinc‐ion batteries. Its aligned nanochannels and hydroxyl‐rich surfaces enable uniform Zn2+ flux, water immobilization, and interfacial stabilization. Zn||Zn cells achieve 1920 h of cycling, Zn||Cu cells maintain 99.5% Coulombic efficiency over 1000 cycles,

Fungal chitin-binding glycoprotein induces Dectin-2-mediated allergic airway inflammation synergistically with chitin.

PLoS Pathogens
Although chitin in fungal cell walls is associated with allergic airway inflammation, the precise mechanism underlying this association has yet to be elucidated.

Autophosphorylation of Specific Threonine and Tyrosine Residues in Arabidopsis CERK1 is Essential for the Activation of Chitin-Induced Immune Signaling [PDF]

Plant and Cell Physiology, 2016
Pattern recognition receptors on the plant cell surface mediate the recognition of microbe/damage-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs/DAMPs) and activate downstream immune signaling. Autophosphorylation of signaling receptor-like kinases is a critical event for the activation of downstream responses but the function of each phosphorylation site in the
