Chitinase expression in parotid glands of non-obese diabetic mice

, 2012
OBJECTIVE: This investigation was a basal study that used a mouse model of xerostomia to identify protein biomarkers of xerostomia in saliva. We identified genes expressed differently in parotid glands from non-obese diabetic mice with diabetes and ...

Serum Chitotriosidase Links to Activated Glia at Chronic Active Lesion Rims in Multiple Sclerosis Brain

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective The objective of this study was to explore the association between 18 kDa translocator protein (TSPO)‐positron emission tomography (PET)–measurable glial activation and serum chitotriosidase (CHIT1) in people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS), and its expression in postmortem MS brain tissue.

Cloning of the Bacillus thuringiensis serovar sotto chitinase (Schi) gene and characterization of its protein

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2005
Chitinase plays a positive role in the pathogenicity of Bacillus thuringiensis to insect pests. We used touchdown PCR to clone the chitinase (Schi) gene from Bacillus thuringiensis serovar sotto (Bt sotto) chromosomal DNA.

Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analyses of the Chitinase Gene Family in Response to White Mold and Drought Stress in Soybean (Glycine max)

Life, 2022
Chitinases are enzymes catalyzing the hydrolysis of chitin that are present on the cell wall of fungal pathogens. Here, we identified and characterized the chitinase gene family in cultivated soybean (Glycine max L.) across the whole genome.

Interactions between lactobacillus and yeast: A recent update

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract Lactobacillus and yeast are microorganisms widely distributed in nature. Their interactions significantly impact fermentation processes, human health, and medical care. However, there is a lack of a systematic summary of the characteristics of these interactions, and the mechanisms underlying these interactions remain unclear.

Cellulase and Chitinase of Earthworms

Nature, 1951
LITTLE is known of the digestive enzymes of the earthworm. The presence of protease, amylase and lipase has been reported in the gut contents in isolated instances. Since up to 10 per cent of the top four inches of soil in grassland may pass through the intestines of worms in a year1, their digestive abilities are of a relevance to transformation of ...

The Enteric Nervous System: An Integrative Hub From Development to Systemic Physiology

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
Unlike a static hardwired circuit, the ENS continuously remodels its transcriptional programs and synaptic connectivity in response to three ecological forces: microbial metabolites, immune cell signals and enteroendocrine cues. ABSTRACT The enteric nervous system (ENS) constitutes the largest and most functionally autonomous subdivision of the ...

Disclosing the production of fungal chitinases and proteases using insect by‐products as substrates in solid‐state fermentation

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The world population is projected to reach nearly 9.7 billion by 2050, significantly increasing the demand for novel and sustainable protein sources. Edible insects, such as Tenebrio molitor, emerge as promising alternatives due to their high nutritional value, but adult insects and frass are direct and abundant by‐products of this ...
