Detection, characterization and evolution of internal repeats in Chitinases of known 3-D structure. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Chitinase proteins have evolved and diversified almost in all organisms ranging from prokaryotes to eukaryotes. During evolution, internal repeats may appear in amino acid sequences of proteins which alter the structural and functional features.

Chitinases and chitinase-like proteins as biomarkers in neurologic disorders [PDF]

Neurology Neuroimmunology & Neuroinflammation, 2021
Chitinases are hydrolytic enzymes widely distributed in nature. Despite their physiologic and pathophysiologic roles are not well understood, chitinases are emerging as biomarkers in a broad range of neurologic disorders, where in many cases, protein levels measured in the CSF have been shown to correlate with disease activity and progression.

Differential Expression of Eight Chitinase Genes in Medicago truncatula Roots During Mycorrhiza Formation, Nodulation, and Pathogen Infection

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2000
Expression of eight different chitinase genes, representing members of five chitinase classes, was studied in Medicago truncatula roots during formation of arbuscular mycorrhiza with Glomus intraradices, nodulation with Rhizobium meliloti, and pathogen ...

Entamoeba Chitinase is Required for Mature Round Cyst Formation

Microbiology Spectrum, 2021
Entamoeba histolytica, a protozoan parasite, causes amoebiasis in humans. Amoebiasis transmission is solely mediated by chitin-walled cysts, which are produced in the large intestine of humans from proliferative trophozoites by a cell differentiation ...

Overexpression of chitinase PbChia1 from Plasmodiophora brassicae improves broad-spectrum disease resistance of Arabidopsis

Virulence, 2023
Chitinase plays an important role in plant resistance against chitin-containing pathogens through hydrolysis of chitin. Clubroot caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae is a major disease for cruciferous crops and vegetables worldwide.
