eLife, 2014 Chitin is a fungal microbe-associated molecular pattern recognized in Arabidopsis by a lysin motif receptor kinase (LYK), AtCERK1. Previous research suggested that AtCERK1 is the major chitin receptor and mediates chitin-induced signaling through ...

Chitin receptor-mediated activation of MAP kinases and ROS production in rice and Arabidopsis. [PDF]
Plant Signal Behav, 2017 Rapid induction of plant immune responses is essential to inhibit colonization and invasion by pathogens. Plants can recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) including fungal chitin and bacterial flagellin using pattern-recognition receptors (PRRs), which trigger the intracellular activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK ...

Characterization of FIBCD1 as an Acetyl Group-Binding Receptor That Binds Chitin [PDF]
The Journal of Immunology, 2009 Abstract Chitin is a highly acetylated compound and the second most abundant biopolymer in the world next to cellulose. Vertebrates are exposed to chitin both through food ingestion and when infected with parasites, and fungi and chitin modulate the immune response in different directions.

Chitin receptor
The Plant Journal, 2017 SummaryIn nature, plants need to respond to multiple environmental stresses that require the involvement and fine‐tuning of different stress signaling pathways. Cross‐tolerance, in which plants pre‐treated with chitin (a fungal microbe‐associated molecular pattern) have improved salt tolerance, was observed in Arabidopsis, but is not well understood ...

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Chitin is a well-known elicitor of disease resistance and its recognition by plants is crucial to perceive fungal infections. Chitin can induce both a local immune response and a systemic disease resistance when provided as a supplement in soils.

Modulation of the fungal mycobiome is regulated by the chitin-binding receptor FIBCD1 [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Medicine, 2019 Host–microbiota interactions are critical in regulating mammalian health and disease. In addition to bacteria, parasites, and viruses, beneficial communities of fungi (the mycobiome) are important modulators of immune- and tissue-homeostasis. Chitin is a major component of the fungal cell wall, and fibrinogen C containing domain 1 (FIBCD1) is a chitin ...

Role of LysM receptors in chitin-triggered plant innate immunity [PDF]
Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2013 Recent research findings clearly indicate that lysin motif (LysM)-containing cell surface receptors are involved in the recognition of specific oligosaccharide elicitors (chitin and peptidoglycan), which trigger an innate immunity response in plants.

Chitin‐induced and CHITIN ELICITOR RECEPTOR KINASE1 (CERK1) phosphorylation‐dependent endocytosis of Arabidopsis thaliana LYSIN MOTIF‐CONTAINING RECEPTOR‐LIKE KINASE5 (LYK5) [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2017 Summary To detect potential pathogens, plants perceive the fungal polysaccharide chitin through receptor complexes containing lysin motif receptor‐like kinases (LysM‐RLKs). To investigate the ligand‐induced spatial dynamics of chitin receptor components, we studied the subcellular behaviour of two Arabidopsis thaliana LysM‐RLKs involved in chitin ...

mBio, 2016 Chitin is an important cell wall component of Aspergillus fumigatus conidia, of which hundreds are inhaled on a daily basis. Previous studies have shown that chitin has both anti- and proinflammatory properties; however the exact mechanisms determining ...
