Abstract:
The present invention provides a method of enhancing chitin degradation or weakening the structure of a chitin substrate comprising exposing chitin to a non-hydrolytic chitin binding protein (CBP). The invention further provides a method of enhancing chitin degradation comprising exposing chitin to a non-hydrolytic CBP and a chitin hydrolase. Compositions, including fungicides, comprising non-hydrolytic CBPs and transgenic plants comprising exogenous nucleic acid molecules encoding a non-hydrolytic CBP are also provided.
