Abstract
⺠A chitinase of Toxoneuron nigriceps (TnChi) was expressed in tobacco plants. ⺠The binding efficiency of Tnchi to chitin is pH dependent. ⺠Tnchi lacks chitinolytic activity, but has insecticidal activity. ⺠Bioassays and bioinformatics indicated Tnchi as an inactive chitotriosidase with chitin binding properties.
