Insect chitinase and chitinase-like proteins
Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2009Insect chitinases belong to family 18 glycosylhydrolases that hydrolyze chitin by an endo-type of cleavage while retaining the anomeric beta-(1-->4) configuration of products. There are multiple genes encoding chitinases and chitinase-like proteins in all insect species studied using bioinformatics searches.

Asthma is a complex and heterogeneous syndrome in which the airway mucosa is abnormal and inflamed. Although its causes are unknown, there are strong clues: it runs in families, and many, but by no means all, patients with asthma have signs and symptoms of IgE responses to common allergens.

Abstract Objectives We aimed to evaluate the expression pattern of chitinase 3-like 2 (CHI3L2) in the tumor core and peritumoral brain zone (PBZ) of newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM) in recurrent tumors and its association with patient prognosis ...

Chitinase inhibitor allosamidin promotes chitinase production of Streptomyces generally
International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2008Allosamidin is a family 18 chitinase inhibitor produced by Streptomyces. In its producing strain, Streptomyces sp. AJ9463, allosamidin promotes production of the family 18 chitinase originated from chi65 in a chitin medium through the two-component regulatory system encoded by chi65R and chi65S, which were present at the 5'-upstream region of chi65. In

AbstractSpecific chitinases accumulate in seeds of many species as part of their normal developmental programme. Some chitinases can also be induced in developing and germinating seeds in response to microbial attack. All known seed isoforms belong to classes I, II, IV and VII, which are encoded byChiagenes, as well as to the more divergent class III ...

Chitinases are found in many organisms, and their properties seem to be closely related to their biological function. In this chapter, the physicochemical properties of chitinases such as molecular size are compared among organisms, and the optimum and stability conditions for chitinase activity are described.

In this review we describe inhibition of chitinases from bacteria, fungi, plants and animals by allosamidin and its derivatives, cyclic peptides, styloguanidin and divalent cations. Most information is available for allosamidin, whose important structural features necessary for inhibition are known. At least one N-acetylallosamine sugar must be present,

Within the last 10 years, much attention has been focused on the role chitinases play within the plant. Evidence is strong that they are antifungal proteins, yet they may also play a part in a nonspecific stress response and can be developmentally regulated. They consist of several enzyme classes and are produced in many plants by small gene families.
