Current Overview of Allergens of Plant Pathogenesis Related Protein Families
Figure 14
(a) Multiple sequence alignment of allergens of ns-LTPs from four Rosaceaefruits: peach, apple, apricot, and cherry. The identical sequences are highlighted in grey. Eight conserved cysteine residues are highlighted in yellow. The speculated three IgE binding epitopes of Pru p 3 from peach are marked in green. (b) Overall structure of ns-LTP, Pru p 3 showing the three possible IgE epitope binding regions (in green) marked from 1 to 3. The five charged residues in yellow having a possible role in epitope recognition and the eight cysteine residues forming four disulphide bridges are also marked.
