Acetylation and accessibility of Cryptococcus neoformans cell wall chitosans influence the strength of host immune responses [PDF]
The Cell SurfaceThe fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans causes fatal cryptococcal meningitis, a significant global health risk. Unlike most fungi, C. neoformans expresses chitin deacetylases that convert its cell wall chitin into chitosan, helping to evade chitin ...

Characterization and cloning of chitin deacetylases from Rhizopus circinans [PDF]
Protein Expression and Purification, 2008 Chitin 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. The enzyme exhibits an apparent molecular weight of approximately 75kDa.

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 ...

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
