Group I chitin deacetylases are essential for higher order organization of chitin fibers in beetle cuticle [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2018
Roles in the organization of the cuticle (exoskeleton) of two chitin deacetylases (CDAs) belonging to group I, TcCDA1 and TcCDA2, as well as two alternatively spliced forms of the latter, TcCDA2a and TcCDA2b, from the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum, were examined in different body parts using transmission EM and RNAi.

Are Insects a Feasible Option or Just a Hyped Promise in Ruminant Nutrition? A Systematic Review of What Has Been Done and What Lies Ahead

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 3, May 2026.
Insects are emerging as sustainable alternatives for ruminants. This systematic review evaluates in vitro and in vivo evidence on insect‐based feeds in ruminant nutrition, discussing their outcomes and elucidating underlying mechanisms. Despite promising effects on rumen fermentation, growth, and product quality, inconsistencies related to insect ...

A Glycosylphosphatidylinositol Anchor Is Required for Membrane Localization but Dispensable for Cell Wall Association of Chitin Deacetylase 2 in Cryptococcus neoformans

mBio, 2012
Cell wall proteins (CWPs) mediate important cellular processes in fungi, including adhesion, invasion, biofilm formation, and flocculation. The current model of fungal cell wall organization includes a major class of CWPs covalently bound to β-1,6-glucan

Metamorphosis and lncRNAs: A Close Relationship

genesis, Volume 64, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The classical definition of metamorphosis is a post‐embryonic transformation, such as from a tadpole to a froglet. However, recent studies suggest this process occurs to some degree in all vertebrates, as the underlying endocrine and molecular pathways are highly conserved. With the advent of high‐throughput sequencing, transcriptomic data for

The Chitin Catabolic Cascade in the Marine Bacterium Vibrio Cholerae: Characterization of a Unique Chitin Oligosaccharide Deacetylase [PDF]

Glycobiology, 2007
Chitin, one of the most abundant organic substances in nature, is consumed by marine bacteria, such as Vibrio cholerae, via a multitude of tightly regulated genes (Li and Roseman 2004, Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 101:627-631). One such gene, cod, is reported here. It encodes a chitin oligosaccharide deacetylase (COD), when cells are induced by chitobiose, (

A Bait‐and‐Switch Strategy Links Phenotypes to Genes Coding for Polymer‐Degrading Enzymes in Intact Microbiomes

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 4, April 2026.
A proposed workflow for identifying polymer degrading enzymes from intact microbiomes. This strategy uses a ‘bait and switch’ microcosm pulse experiment, genotype–phenotype association analyses and experimental validation of candidates to identify novel chitin degrading enzymes from soil microbial communities.

Cloning, isolation, and characterization of novel chitinase-producing bacterial strain UM01 (Myxococcus fulvus)

Journal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, 2020
Background Chitin is an important biopolymer next to cellulose, extracted in the present study. The exoskeleton of marine bycatch brachyuran crabs, namely Calappa lophos, Dromia dehaani, Dorippe facchino and also from stomatopod Squilla spp. were used to

Next‐Generation Antioxidant Strategies: From Nanoformulations to Gene‐Targeted Therapies

cScience, Volume 2, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Antioxidants play a pivotal role in neutralizing oxidative stress, a key factor in aging and chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disorders, and neurodegeneration. Although traditional antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, polyphenols, and endogenous enzymes have shown efficacy in laboratory and clinical studies, their therapeutic ...
