Chitin Biosynthesis in Aspergillus Species

Journal of Fungi, 2023
The fungal cell wall (FCW) is a dynamic structure responsible for the maintenance of cellular homeostasis, and is essential for modulating the interaction of the fungus with its environment.

A study on structural comparisons of α-chitin extracted from marine crustacean shell waste

Carbohydrate Polymer Technologies and Applications, 2021
In the present study, chitin was extracted from marine crustacean shell waste (shrimp, crab, squilla and lobster) using traditional chemical methods (deproteinisation and demineralization) and its physicochemical and structural properties were ...

Chitin-induced systemic disease resistance in rice requires both OsCERK1 and OsCEBiP and is mediated via perturbation of cell-wall biogenesis in leaves

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Chitin is a well-known elicitor of disease resistance and its recognition by plants is crucial to perceive fungal infections. Chitin can induce both a local immune response and a systemic disease resistance when provided as a supplement in soils.

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 ...

Reciprocal Inhibition of Adiponectin and Innate Lung Immune Responses to Chitin and Aspergillus fumigatus [PDF]

, 2019
Chitin is a structural biopolymer found in numerous organisms, including pathogenic fungi, and recognized as an immune-stimulating pathogen associated molecular pattern by pattern recognition molecules of the host immune system.

Chitin-Induced Airway Epithelial Cell Innate Immune Responses Are Inhibited by Carvacrol/Thymol. [PDF]

, 2016
Chitin is produced in large amounts by fungi, insects, and other organisms and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of asthma. Airway epithelial cells are in direct contact with environmental particles and serve as the first line of defense against ...

Effects of Ball Milling, Ultrosonic or Hydrochloric Acid Treatment on the Microstructure and Enzymatic Deacetylation Efficiency of Chitin [PDF]

Shipin Kexue, 2023
Chitin is the second most abundant natural polysaccharide on Earth, which can be deacetylated to produce chitosan. However, due to the high crystallinity and poor solubility of chitin, its efficiency of enzymatic deacetylation is very low. To investigate

A structural and biochemical model of processive chitin synthesis [PDF]

, 2014
Chitin synthases (CHS) produce chitin, an essential component of the fungal cell wall. The molecular mechanism of processive chitin synthesis is not understood, limiting the discovery of new inhibitors of this enzyme class.
