Chitinase expression in parotid glands of non-obese diabetic mice

open access: yes, 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 ...

TcALS knockdown accelerates metamorphosis via insulin signaling in Tribolium castaneum

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
RNAi silencing of TcALS accelerates larva‐to‐pupa metamorphosis in Tribolium castaneum. Abstract Insect metamorphosis is an evolutionary adaptation precisely regulated by nutritional and hormonal cues. The red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum, a major stored‐product pest, serves as an excellent model for studying this process.

Purification and characterization of protease and chitinase from Bacillus cereus TKU006 and conversion of marine wastes by these enzymes

open access: yes, 2013
A chitinase- and protease-producing bacterium was isolated and identified as Bacillus cereus TKU006. The better condition on our tests for protease and chitinase production was found when the culture was shaken at 25°C for 2 days in 25 mL of medium ...

Is Asthma Remission a New Achievable Goal? A Review of the Current Drug‐Related Evidence and Predictors

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Advances in asthma therapies have shown that clinical remission may be an achievable therapeutic goal for patients with asthma. This review discusses the current definitions of remission in asthma, the predictors of remission, airway inflammation/epithelial damage in asthma remission, airway remodeling, paradigms in defining remission and ...

Suppression of Tobacco Basic Chitinase Gene Expression in Response to Colonization by the Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungus Glomus intraradices

open access: yesMolecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 1998
A differentially displayed cDNA clone (MD17) was isolated from tobacco roots (Nicotiana tabacum cv. Xanthi-nc) infected with the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus Glomus intraradices.

Functional analysis of the Arabidopsis thaliana AtEP3 endochitinase

open access: yes, 2001
Chitinases are enzymes that are capable of catalyzing the hydrolysis of chitin, a homopolymer of N-acetylglucosamine. Chitin is the main constituent of the exoskeleton of insects, of crustacean shells and of the cell wall of many fungi but is absent in ...

Clinical and molecular features of primary gliosarcoma with digital spatial whole‐transcriptome analysis of glial and mesenchymal components

open access: yesBrain Pathology, EarlyView.
We report the clinical and genetic features of an institutional cohort of primary adult gliosarcomas compared to glioblastoma. We performed spatial whole‐transcriptome analysis on glial and sarcomatous regions of four cases to compare gene expression profiles and validated differential protein expression for two markers in tissue sections.

Human Chitinases and Chitinase-Like Proteins as Indicators for Inflammation and Cancer

open access: yesBiomarker Insights, 2007
Human Glyco_18 domain-containing proteins constitute a family of chitinases and chitinase-like proteins. Chitotriosidase and AMCase are true enzymes which hydrolyse chitin and have a C-terminal chitin-binding domain. YKL-40, YKL-39, SI-CLP and murine YM1/2 proteins possess solely Glyco_18 domain and do not have the hydrolytic activity.

Aktivitas Enzim Kitinase pada Kacang Tanah yang Sehat dan yang Terinfeksi Sclerotium rolfsii

open access: yesHayati Journal of Biosciences, 2006
The objectives of this experiment were to analyze the endo- or exo-chitinase activities of healthy and Sclerotium rolfsii infected peanuts. The experiment analyzed 24 different peanut genotypes.
