Molecular Insights into Exoskeletal Remodeling: Transcriptomic Profiling of the Molting Cycle in the Red Swamp Crayfish Procambarus clarkii

Fishes
The molting of crustaceans is accompanied by exoskeleton reconstruction. To reveal the molecular regulation mechanism of exoskeleton remodeling, the transcriptomic profiles of the exoskeleton across the entire molting process in the red swamp crayfish ...

Activity of chitin deacetylase from Colletotrichum gloeosporioides on chitinous substrates

, 2013
International audienceProduction of chitin deacetylases from the phytopathogenic fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides was successfully achieved by submerged fermentation. The highest specific activity of 0.018 U mg(-1) of protein was obtained after 96 h

Downregulation of a chitin deacetylase-like protein in response to baculovirus infection and its application for improving baculovirus infectivity

, 2010
Several expressed sequence tags (ESTs) with homology to chitin deacetylase-like protein (CDA) were selected from a group of Helicoverpa armigera genes whose expression changed after infection with H. armigera single nucleopolyhedrovirus (HearNPV).

Addition of abscisic acid increases the production of chitin deacetylase by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides in submerged culture

, 2016
International audienceThe activity of chitin deacetylase from Colletotrichum gloeosporioides was studied by the addition of phytohormones (gibberellic acid, indole acetic acid, and abscisic acid) and amino sugars (glucosamine and N-acetyl glucosamine) in

Engineering of a chitin deacetylase to generate tailor-made chitosan polymers

PLoS Biology
Chitin deacetylases (CDAs) emerge as a valuable tool to produce chitosans with a nonrandom distribution of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) and glucosamine (GlcN) units.

Aspartyl peptidase May1 induces host inflammatory response by altering cell wall composition in the fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans

mBio
Cryptococcus neoformans causes cryptococcal meningoencephalitis, a disease that kills more than 180,000 people annually. Contributing to its success as a fungal pathogen is its cell wall surrounded by a capsule.

Immune Functional Analysis of Chitin Deacetylase 3 from the Asian Citrus Psyllid Diaphorina citri

, 2019
Chitin deacetylase (CDA) is a chitin degradation enzyme that strictly catalyzes the deacetylation of chitin to form chitosan, which plays an important role in regulating growth and development, as well as the immune response.
