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.

The Tribolium castaneum cell line TcA: a new tool kit for cell biology [PDF]
, 2014 The red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum, is an agriculturally important insect pest that has been widely used as a model organism. Recently, an adherent cell line (BCIRL-TcA-CLG1 or TcA) was developed from late pupae of the red flour beetle.

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.

Identification of novel chondroitin proteoglycans in Caenorhabditis elegans: embryonic cell division depends on CPG-1 and CPG-2. [PDF]
, 2006 Vertebrates produce multiple chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans that play important roles in development and tissue mechanics. In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, the chondroitin chains lack sulfate but nevertheless play essential roles in embryonic ...
