Yeast ascospore wall assembly requires two chitin deacetylase isozymes
FEBS Letters, 1999 Chitin deacetylases are required for spore wall rigidity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Two chitin deacetylase genes (CDA1 and CDA2) have been identified in yeast.

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 ...

Chitin-deacetylase activity induces appressorium differentiation in the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2017 The rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae differentiates a specialized infection structure called an appressorium to invade rice cells. In this report, we show that CBP1, which encodes a chitin-deacetylase, is involved in the induction phase of ...

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

Immune Functional Analysis of Chitin Deacetylase 3 from the Asian Citrus Psyllid Diaphorina citri. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2019 Chitin deacetylase (CDA) is a chitin degradation enzyme that strictly catalyzes the deacetylation of chitin to form chitosan, which plays an important role in regulating growth and development, as well as the immune response.

Characterization and Cloning of Chitin Deacetylases from Rhizopus Circinans
Protein Expression and Purification, 2008 peer reviewedChitin deacetylase catalyzes hydrolysis of the acetamido groups of N-acetylglucosamine of chitin in fungal cell walls. Here a chitin deacetylase secreted by Rhizopus circinans was purified to homogeneity and partially characterized.
