The Chitin Connection

mBio, 2012
Chitin, a polymer of N-acetylglucosamine, is an essential component of the fungal cell wall. Chitosan, a deacetylated form of chitin, is also important in maintaining cell wall integrity and is essential for Cryptococcus neoformans virulence.

Insights Into the Role of Lysine Acetylation of Non‐Histone Proteins in Plant Immunity

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant immunity is regulated by numerous transcriptional and posttranslational mechanisms. Among these, lysine acetylation, which is controlled by lysine acetyltransferases (KATs) and lysine deacetylases (KDACs), has been extensively studied, particularly in the context of epigenetic regulation through histone acetylation.

An Ustilaginoidea virens Nuclear Effector SCRE7 Inhibits Rice Immunity via Suppressing OsLBD11/12‐Promoted Transcription of OsCPS2

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1305-1321, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Phytopathogenic fungi secrete a great number of effector proteins into various organelles of host plants and suppress plant immunity through different mechanisms. In this study, we identify SCRE7 as a unique nuclear effector that is essential for U. virens infection.

Natural Products in Cancer Prevention and Therapy: Current Challenges and Future Directions

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
Natural products play a pivotal role in cancer therapy. They induce cancer cell death by reprogramming four metabolic pathways while precisely targeting the tumor microenvironment and immune cells. These compounds not only leverage novel delivery systems for innovative applications but also demonstrate unique therapeutic efficacy across clinical stages:

Perspectives of Chitin Deacetylase Research

, 2011
Chitin and chitosan are copolymers of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) and D-glucosamine (GlcN) units linked with β-(1-4) glycosidic bond, where the predominant units are GlcNAc for chitin or GlcN for chitosan in their polymeric chains (Fig. 1).

Chitin oligosaccharide deacetylase from Shewanella baltica ATCC BAA-1091 [PDF]

Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2017
Abstract Chitin oligosaccharide deacetylase (COD) from bacteria that have been examined so far typically comprise two carbohydrate-binding domains (CBDs) and one polysaccharide deacetylase domain. In contrast, Shewanella baltica ATCC BAA-1091 COD (Sb-COD) has only one CBD, yet exhibits chitin-binding properties and substrate ...
