Comprehensive Analysis of the Chitinase Family Genes in Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum)

Plants, 2019
Chitinase catalyzes the hydrolysis of chitin β-1,4 linkages. However, plants cannot produce chitin, suggesting that plant chitinases do not have the same function as animals.

Computational identification and characterization of chitinase 1 and chitinase 2 from neotropical isolates of Beauveria bassiana

Frontiers in Bioinformatics
BackgroundThe fungus Beauveria bassiana is widely used for agronomical applications, mainly in biological control. B. bassiana uses chitinase enzymes to degrade chitin, a major chemical component found in insect exoskeletons and fungal cell walls ...

Processive chitinase is Brownian monorail operated by fast catalysis after peeling rail from crystalline chitin

Nature Communications, 2018
Processive chitinase is a linear molecular motor which moves on the surface of crystalline chitin driven by processive hydrolysis of single chitin chain. Here, we analyse the mechanism underlying unidirectional movement of Serratia marcescens chitinase A

Proteomic analysis of the excretory-secretory products from larval stages of Ascaris suum reveals high abundance of glycosyl hydrolases [PDF]

, 2013
Background: Ascaris lumbricoides and Ascaris suum are socioeconomically important and widespread parasites of humans and pigs, respectively. The excretory-secretory (ES) molecules produced and presented at the parasite-host interface during the different

Chitinase Chi1 from Myceliophthora thermophila C1, a Thermostable Enzyme for Chitin and Chitosan Depolymerization

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2018
A thermostable Chitinase Chi1 from Myceliophthora thermophila C1 was homologously produced and characterized. Chitinase Chi1 shows high thermostability at 40 °C (>140 h 90% activity), 50 °C (>168 h 90% activity), and 55 °C (half-life 48 h).

Functional Compost [PDF]

, 2006
The aim of the research program Functional Compost is to develop and test compost, which have been enriched with chitin, for plant growth promoting properties and to recognise specific mechanisms. Two types of compost were included in the program: source

Structural and functional characterization of chitinase from carnivorous plant Drosera adelae

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
A class I chitinase from the carnivorous plant Drosera adelae was expressed and purified using a yeast system, revealing high enzymatic activity. Structural analyses of the catalytic and chitin‐binding domains identified key tyrosine residues involved in substrate binding, offering insights into the enzyme's adaptation for insect digestion.
