Plasmodiophora brassicae CBM18 Proteins Bind Chitin and Suppress Chitin-Triggered Immunity
PhytoFrontiers, 2022 Plants have a sophisticated and multilayered immune system. However, plant pathogens, helped by effector proteins, have found several strategies to evade plant immunity.

Scientific Reports, 2021 Trehalose-6-phosphate synthase (TPS) and trehalase (TRE) directly regulate trehalose metabolism and indirectly regulate chitin metabolism in insects. Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and RNA interference (RNAi) were used to detect the expressions and

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2021 Epichloë festucae forms a mutualistic symbiotic association with Lolium perenne. This biotrophic fungus systemically colonizes the intercellular spaces of aerial tissues to form an endophytic hyphal network and also grows as an epiphyte.

Yeast ascospore wall assembly requires two chitin deacetylase isozymes [PDF]
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. In this report we studied the biochemical properties of the chitin deacetylases encoded by CDA1 and CDA2 and we show how their elimination directly affects the ascospore wall assembly.

Purification and Characterization of Chitin Deacetylase from Colletotrichum lindemuthianum [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1995 Chitin deacetylase (EC 3.5.1.41), the enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of acetamido groups of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine in chitin, has been purified to homogeneity from the culture filtrate of the fungus Colletotrichum lindemuthianum and further characterized.

mBio, 2023 Plants alert immune systems by recognizing the fungal pathogen cell wall component chitin via pattern recognition cell surface receptors. Successful fungal pathogens escape the perception by deacetylating chitin to chitosan, which is also necessary for fungal cell development and virulence.

CHITINOLYTIC ENZYMES IN THE RUMEN MICROBIAL ECOSYSTEM
Acta Agriculturae Slovenica, 1998 Chitinolytic systems of rumen Clostridia (usually the most active rumen chitinolytic bacteria) and rumen anaerobic fungi were compared in the present study.

Can we make Chitosan by Enzymatic Deacetylation of Chitin?
Molecules, 2019 Chitin, an insoluble linear polymer of β-1,4-N-acetyl-d-glucosamine (GlcNAc; A), can be converted to chitosan, a soluble heteropolymer of GlcNAc and d-glucosamine (GlcN; D) residues, by partial deacetylation.

Bioproduction of Chitooligosaccharides: Present and Perspectives
Marine Drugs, 2014 Chitin and chitosan oligosaccharides (COS) have been traditionally obtained by chemical digestion with strong acids. In light of the difficulties associated with these traditional production processes, environmentally compatible and reproducible ...
