In enzymology, a chitin deacetylase (EC 3.5.1.41) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction chitin + H₂O ⇌ chitosan + acetate Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are chitin and H₂O, whereas its two products are chitosan and acetate. This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, those acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds, specifically in linear amides. The systematic name of this enzyme class is chitin amidohydrolase.
This invention discloses a chitin deacetylase product and its application in agricultural disease prevention. Through codon optimization, the *Rhodococcus* chitin deacetylase gene (SEQ ID NO:1) was cloned into the *Pichia pastoris* expression vector pGAPZa A, constructing the recombinant vector pGAPZaA-CDA-His, which was then transformed into the *Pichia pastoris* SMD1168 host, achieving efficient secretory expression of the enzyme. The resulting recombinant enzyme exhibits high activity and good thermostability. This invention includes a universal enzymatic deacetylation process characterized by deacetylation efficiency, applicable to chitin deacetylases from various sources. This invention also provides a method for further enzymatic hydrolysis to produce N-acetylglucosamine monomers or their oligosaccharides, and the application of the recombinant enzyme and its product in the preparation of biopesticides and the treatment of chitin-containing biomass materials.
