A fatty acid-binding protein links lipid handling to chitin synthase-dependent cuticle formation and nanoscale organization

Marius Beck, Kim Venus, Weixing Zhu…·Hans Merzendorfer

This study identifies TcFabp8 as a fatty acid-binding protein essential for chitin synthase-dependent cuticle formation and nanoscale organization in Tribolium castaneum.

Structural and chemical properties of insects' chitin-containing extracellular matrices

Mario Wegmann, Marius Beck, Stefan Cord‐Landwehr…·Hans Merzendorfer

The paper investigates the structural and chemical properties of chitin in insect extracellular matrices, finding that PM chitin is highly acetylated and organized as dihydrate β-chitin, while cuticle chitin is deacetylated and structured as α-chitin.
