Abstract Different isoforms of chitinases were purified from pepper ( Capsicum annuum L. cv. Hanbyul) stems treated with mercuric chloride. The acidic isoform a1 (69kDa, pI5.0), basic isoforms b1 (32kDa, pI9.0) and b2 (22kDa, pI9.1) were purified by chitin-affinity chromatography, with subsequent electroelution from nondenaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) gels. The acidic isoform a1 has chitin-binding properties, but no antifungal activity. The basic isoforms b1 and b2 contain high ratios of cysteine and glycine at the N-terminal chitin-binding domain, exhibit chitinase activity, and show antifungal activities against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cucumerinum, Magnaporthe grisea , and Trichoderma viride in vitro. Moreover, their antifungal activity shows a high degree of specificity to filamentous fungi. The chitinases b1 and b2 show a high sequence identity in their N-terminal residues with those from wheat, tobacco, potato, rice and Arabidopsis thaliana. None of the purified isoforms of chitinases inhibited hyphal growth of the Oomycete fungus which lacks chitin Phytophthora capsici . In contrast, zoospore germination and germ tube elongation of P. capsici were effectively inhibited by treatment with b1 and b2.
