Self‐Assembly of Organic–Inorganic Copolymers Toward Bio‐Inspired Cementitious Composites

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Organic–inorganic copolymerization of calcium silicate hydrate and thioctic acid produces a self‐organized nanocomposite inspired by the disordered collagen–mineral architecture of trabecular bone. The resulting material combines a compressive strength above 300 MPa with intrinsic physical reprocessibility, retaining over 80% of its strength and energy

CERK1 is required for chitin-triggered reactive oxygen species generation in melon and is broadly conserved in cucurbits

Plant Signaling & Behavior
CHITIN ELICITOR RECEPTOR KINASE 1 (CERK1), originally identified in Arabidopsis thaliana, encodes a pattern recognition receptor that perceives the fungal cell wall component called chitin to activate immune responses, including the production of ...

Identification of chitin allomorphs in poorly crystalline samples based on the complexation with ethylenediamine [PDF]

, 2022
Chitin is a key component of hard parts in many organisms, but the biosynthesis of the two distinctive chitin allomorphs, α- and β-chitin, is not well-understood. The accurate determination of chitin allomorphs in natural biomaterials is vital.

Asymmetric Evolution of Antennal Cell Types Underlies a Derived Ammonia‐Sensing Logic for Ecological Adaptation in Bactrocera dorsalis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Comparative antennal single‐nucleus transcriptomics reveals cell‐type‐dependent transcriptomic divergence in Bactrocera dorsalis, with similar structural cells but divergent sensory neurons. This neuronal diversification is associated with a distinct ammonia‐sensing pathway, linking female attraction to bird‐dropping‐associated cues with nutritional ...

Fungal chitin dampens inflammation through IL-10 induction mediated by NOD2 and TLR9 activation.

PLoS Pathogens, 2014
Chitin is an essential structural polysaccharide of fungal pathogens and parasites, but its role in human immune responses remains largely unknown. It is the second most abundant polysaccharide in nature after cellulose and its derivatives today are ...

Reciprocal Inhibition of Adiponectin and Innate Lung Immune Responses to Chitin and Aspergillus fumigatus

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
Chitin is a structural biopolymer found in numerous organisms, including pathogenic fungi, and recognized as an immune-stimulating pathogen associated molecular pattern by pattern recognition molecules of the host immune system.

The role of LysM protein in plant immunity

上海师范大学学报. 自然科学版, 2022
Lysin motif (LysM) is a ubiquitous domain in multiple proteins. LysM-containing proteins in plants have the ability of sensing chitin or its oligosaccharides, thereby initiating plant immune responses to pathogens.

The BTB/POZ‐MATH Protein ZmBPM1 Interacts With Autophagy‐related Protein ZmATG6 and Modulates the NLR Protein Rp1‐D21‐Mediated Defense Response in Maize

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The maize BTB/POZ‐MATH (BPM) protein ZmBPM1 interacts with autophagy‐related protein ZmATG6 to relocate the NLR protein Rp1‐D21 from the nucleo‐cytoplasmic compartment into autophagosome‐like puncta, leading to autophagy‐mediated turnover and suppressing the hypersensitive response.

The soybean plasma membrane GmDR1 protein conferring broad-spectrum disease and pest resistance regulates several receptor kinases and NLR proteins

Scientific Reports
Overexpression of Glycine max disease resistant 1 (GmDR1) exhibits broad-spectrum resistance against Fusarium virguliforme, Heterodera glycines (soybean cyst nematode), Tetranychus urticae (Koch) (spider mites), and Aphis glycines Matsumura (soybean ...

Current and emerging analytical technologies for analyzing chitin-protein binding interactions

Reviews in Analytical Chemistry, 2013
Chitin, a small organic molecule commonly found in fungal cell walls and insect exoskeletons, has the ability to elicit an immune response in plants by binding to specific membrane-bound receptors. Understanding how plants detect and fend off deleterious
