The chitinolytic machinery of Serratia marcescens is one of the best known enzyme systems for the conversion of insoluble polysaccharides. This machinery includes four chitin-active enzymes: ChiC, an endo-acting non-processive chitinase; ChiA and ChiB, two processive chitinases moving along chitin chains

This study examined the effects of a combined pretreatment with supercritical water and mechanochemical grinding with a ball mill on the physicochemical properties of chitin and its enzymatic degradation. Following pretreatment with a combination of supercritical water and grinding, chitin

The organic matrices in the exoskeleton of the crayfish Procambarus clarkii are classified into three groups depending on solubility; acid soluble, acid insoluble-SDS/dithiothreitol (DTT) soluble, and acid insoluble-SDS/DTT insoluble fractions. In our previous studies, Casp-1 and -2 were identified in

The crystal structure of a complex of β-chitin with ethylenediamine (EDA) was determined by synchrotron X-ray fiber diffraction. Data were collected from a sample prepared from the bathophilous tubeworm Lamellibrachia satsuma. The unit cell contains one chain having one N-acetylglucosamine

CERK1 is a lysine motif-containing plant pattern recognition receptor for chitin and peptidoglycan. Chitin recognition by OsCERK1 triggers rapid engagement of a rice MAP kinase cascade, which leads to defense response activation. How the MAP kinase cascades are engaged downstream
