Although the <jats:italic>A.\u00a0fumigatus<\/jats:italic> cell wall has long been taken as a unique target for drug development, its dynamic remodeling is complicated and not well understood. Seven putative CDAs are annotated in the <jats:italic>A.\u00a0fumigatus<\/jats:italic> genome. In this study, we analyzed the function of the putative CDAs, Cod4 and Cod7, in <jats:italic>A.\u00a0fumigatus<\/jats:italic>. Biochemical analysis of recombinant proteins showed that Cod4 preferentially deacetylated (GlcNAc)<jats:sub>4<\/jats:sub> and was less active on chitooligosaccharides with DP\u00a0&gt;\u00a05, whereas Cod7 was unable to catalyze deacetylation. Simulation of three\u2010dimensional structure revealed that both Cod4 and Cod7 shared a similar folding pattern with <jats:italic>Hy<\/jats:italic>PgdA from <jats:italic>Helicobacter pylori<\/jats:italic> and, similar to <jats:italic>Hy<\/jats:italic>PgdA, a substitution of Thr8 by Ala8 in Cod7 abolished its CDA activity. Deletion of the <jats:italic>cod4<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>cod7<\/jats:italic>, or both in <jats:italic>A.\u00a0fumigatus<\/jats:italic> led to polarity abnormality and increased conidiation. Furthermore, the expression level of the genes related to polarity was upregulated in the mutants. Our results demonstrated that Cod4 and Cod7 were involved in polarity, though Cod4 was inactive.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/mbo3.943","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,10,11]],"date-time":"2019-10-11T07:41:41Z","timestamp":1570779701000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Chitin
