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 ...

KNR4, a suppressor of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cwh mutants, is involved in the transcriptional control of chitin synthase genes [PDF]
, 1999 The KNR4 gene, originally isolated by complementation of a K9 killer-toxinresistant mutant displaying reduced levels of both 1,3-b-glucan and 1,3-bglucan synthase activity, was recloned from a YCp50 genomic library as a suppressor of Saccharomyces ...

The role of the putative receptor-like cytoplasmic kinase CLR1 in chitin signalling [PDF]
, 2022 Pflanzen erkennen potentielle Pathogene anhand von konservierten Mikroben-assoziierten molekularen Mustern (MAMPs) welche sie über membranlokalisierte Rezeptoren wahrnehmen. Der durch diese Rezeptoren aktivierte Signalweg spielt eine wesentliche Rolle in der pflanzlichen angeborenen Immunität.

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.

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 ...

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.
