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

ABSTRACT Pathogens commonly secrete effectors into host cells to facilitate invasion. In the host ubiquitin‐proteasome system (UPS), E3 ubiquitin ligases often target pathogen effectors for degradation, thereby enhancing immune responses. In turn, pathogen effectors frequently disrupt E3 ligase function to promote virulence. However, it remains largely

Structure-based analysis of domain function of chitin oligosaccharide deacetylase from Vibrio parahaemolyticus [PDF]
The X-ray crystal structure of chitin oligosaccharide deacetylase from Vibrio parahaemolyticus (Vp-COD) was determined at an 1.35Å resolution. The amino acid sequence and structure of Vp-COD show that the enzyme comprises one polysaccharide deacetylase ...

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

Bacillus subtilis PdaC is the first peptidoglycan deacetylase able to act in reverse, acetylating a glucosamine oligomer (chitopentaose) with a pattern of acetylation mirroring the natural deacetylation reaction with unique final regioselectivity, acetylating all but the reducing end of D5.

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 ...

Metamorphosis and lncRNAs: A Close Relationship
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
