Molecular mechanisms of chitin recognition and immune signaling by LysM-receptors [PDF]
Physiological and Molecular Plant Pathology, 2016 Abstract Plants have the ability to recognize microbe-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs) and initiate various defense responses. Chitin is a representative fungal MAMP that triggers defense signaling in a wide range of plant species. In rice, OsCEBiP and OsCERK1 form a receptor complex and play critical roles in chitin-triggered defense signaling.

Chitin modulates innate immune responses of keratinocytes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 BACKGROUND: Chitin, after cellulose the second most abundant polysaccharide in nature, is an essential component of exoskeletons of crabs, shrimps and insects and protects these organisms from harsh conditions in their environment.

The role of FIBCD1 in response to Aspergillus fumigatus in lung epithelial cells.
PLoS ONE, 2023 Chitin, a polysaccharide, is ubiquitously found in nature and has been known to be an active immunogen in mammals, and interacts with Toll-like, mannose and glucan receptors, to induce cytokine and chemokine secretions.

Identification of 20-hydroxyecdysone late-response genes in the chitin biosynthesis pathway. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 BACKGROUND: 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) and its receptor complex ecdysone receptor (EcR) and ultraspiracle (USP) play a crucial role in controlling development, metamorphosis, reproduction and diapause.

Fungal Chitin Reduces Platelet Activation Mediated via TLR8 Stimulation
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2019 Platelets play an important role in the innate immune response. During candidaemia, circulating fungal polysaccharides, including chitin, are released into the bloodstream and can interact with platelets and induce modulation of platelet activities ...

Plant Methods, 2020 Background Plant receptors with lysin motifs (LsyM) recognize microbial signals such as fungal chitin and lipo-chitooligosaccharidic Nod factors of nitrogen-fixing rhizobia. It is generally assumed that ligand-induced dimerization of LysM receptors is an

CERK1, a LysM receptor kinase, is essential for chitin elicitor signaling in Arabidopsis [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2007 Chitin is a major component of fungal cell walls and serves as a microbe-associated molecular pattern (MAMP) for the detection of various potential pathogens in innate immune systems of both plants and animals. We recently showed that chitin elicitor-binding protein (CEBiP), plasma membrane glycoprotein with LysM motifs, functions ...

LIK1, a CERK1-interacting kinase, regulates plant immune responses in Arabidopsis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Chitin, an integral component of the fungal cell wall, is one of the best-studied microbe-associated molecular patterns. Previous work identified a LysM receptor-like kinase (LysM-RLK1/CERK1) as the primary chitin receptor in Arabidopsis.

Chitin nanofiber elucidates the elicitor activity of polymeric chitin in plants
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015 Chitin, an N-acetyl-D-glucosamine polymer, is a component of fungal cell walls and a microbe/pathogen-associated molecular pattern that elicits plant defense responses.

mBio, 2023 Pathogenic fungi convert chitin to chitosan to evade plant perception and disarm chitin-triggered immune responses. Whether plants have evolved factors to counteract this evasion mechanism remains obscure.
