Basic and clinical immunology – 3033: Structural analyses and allergencity predicition of sapodilla (Manikara zapota) acidic thaumatin-like protein by bioinformatics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Oral allergy syndrome to sapodilla plum is caused by a 21 kD allergen existing as two isoforms: an acidic thaumatin-like protein (TLP-1) and a basic thaumatin-like protein (TLP-2). The composite sequence of TLP-1 comprising the N-terminal sequence 1-7 (A-T-F-D-V/I-V-N-) and the deduced sequence 8-207 (GenBank JN624813.1) was used for this analysis. The major objective of this study was to analyze the structural features and allergenicity prediction of TLP-1 by bioinformatics.

Methods A case of oral allergy syndrome to sapodilla and custard apple was investigated following approval by Institutional Ethics Committee. Sapodilla allergy was confirmed by diagnostic tests (SPT and allergen-specific IgE). Sapodilla proteins were separated on SP-Sepharose by adsorption at pH 4 followed by step elution at pH 5 (SP1), and with increasing NaCl – 0.1 M (SP2) and 0.2 M (SP3). Fo...

Introduction: Pathogenic strains of Proteus mirabilis have important roles in urinary tract infection. Proteus toxic agglutinin (Pta) is amongst the most important virulence factors of P. mirabilis. This protein has a conserved sequence present in all the strains which could be evaluated as a novel vaccine target against them. The aims of the current study were the expression, purification and ...
