Inhibition of chitin deacetylases to attenuate plant fungal diseases
Nature Communications, 2023 Phytopathogenic fungi secrete chitin deacetylase (CDA) to escape the host’s immunological defense during infection. Here, we showed that the deacetylation activity of CDA toward chitin is essential for fungal virulence.

What Are the Functions of Chitin Deacetylases in Aspergillus fumigatus? [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020 Deacetylation of chitin by chitin deacetylases (Cda) results in the formation of chitosan. Chitosan, a polymer of β1,4 linked glucosamine, plays multiple roles in the function of the fungal cell wall, including virulence and evasion of host immune ...

Characterization of the Effector Candidate Repertoire in the Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungus Rhizophagus irregularis [PDF]
Journal of FungiThe majority of terrestrial plants can interact with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) to form symbiotic relationships. AMF colonization not only enhances the host plant’s uptake of mineral nutrients but also improves its tolerance to biotic and abiotic

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

Chitin Deacetylases: Properties and Applications [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2010 Chitin deacetylases, occurring in marine bacteria, several fungi and a few insects, catalyze the deacetylation of chitin, a structural biopolymer found in countless forms of marine life, fungal cell and spore walls as well as insect cuticle and peritrophic matrices.

Chitin Deacetylases: Structures, Specificities, and Biotech Applications [PDF]
Polymers, 2018 Depolymerization and de-N-acetylation of chitin by chitinases and deacetylases generates a series of derivatives including chitosans and chitooligosaccharides (COS), which are involved in molecular recognition events such as modulation of cell signaling and morphogenesis, immune responses, and host-pathogen interactions.

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.
