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 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

Chitin deacetylases Cod4 and Cod7 are involved in polar growth of Aspergillus fumigatus

MicrobiologyOpen, 2020
Chitin is one of the key components of fungal cell wall, and chitin deacetylases (CDAs) have been found in fungi; however, their functions remain unknown.

Host‐Induced Silencing of Rhizoctonia Solani 5‐Enolpyruvylshikimate‐3‐Phosphate Synthase Impairs Its Virulence in Rice

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 3573-3593, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Sheath blight disease of rice caused by the fungal pathogen R. solani AG1‐IA remains a big threat to rice production worldwide. A limited genetic variation in rice for tolerance to this pathogen and little success in understanding how it defeats host defence are major reasons behind it.

Production and Application of Chitin Deacetylase from Bacillus licheniformis HSA3-1a as Biotermicide [PDF]

, 2014
Chitin deacetylase (EC.3.5.1.41) is a class of hidrolase enzymes that can degrade chitin. The biochemical property characteristics of chitin degrading enzymes are very diverse, particularly chitin deacetylase enzymes, which really depends on the types ...

A Conserved Magnaporthe oryzae Effector Counteracts the Rice Ubiquitin‐Proteasome System by Disrupting the E2 Function to Suppress Immunity

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 4302-4316, June 2026.
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

Acetylation Activity and Specificity of Peptidoglycan Deacetylase BsPdaC Acting in Reverse on Chitooligosaccharides

ChemCatChem, Volume 18, Issue 10, 27 May 2026.
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.

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 ...
