A major root protein of carrots with high homology to intracellular pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins and pollen allergens.

چکیده
We isolated the cDNA clone coding for a major root specific protein (CR16) of carrots. The CR16 protein (154a.a.) has a high homology to intracellular pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins, stress-induced proteins and also the major allergen protein of celery (Api g1). The CR16 protein gene formed a super gene family and transcripts of this CR16 protein gene are predominant in root tissue, not in leaves or flowers.

Introductory lecture: Pollen food allergy syndrome
The term pollen-food allergy syndrome (PFAS) defines a series of clinical symptoms appearing shortly after the ingestion of plant-derived foods in subjects with pollen allergy. The patients with PFAS are primarily allergic to pollen and subsequently react to food allergens as a consequence of the homology between pollen and plantfood proteins. The two highly conserved proteins responsible for t...
متن کاملCurrent Overview of Allergens of Plant Pathogenesis Related Protein Families
Pathogenesis related (PR) proteins are one of the major sources of plant derived allergens. These proteins are induced by the plants as a defense response system in stress conditions like microbial and insect infections, wounding, exposure to harsh chemicals, and atmospheric conditions. However, some plant tissues that are more exposed to environmental conditions like UV irradiation and insect ...
متن کاملOral Allergy Syndrome – What ’ S New ?
Oral allergy syndrome/pollen-food syndrome (OAS/ PFS) affects up to 70% of patients with birch-pollen allergy. Prevalence is likely to continue to increase as the prevalence of inhalant allergies rises. Homologous proteins in fruits, vegetables, and pollens of grasses, trees and weeds are responsible for PFS. Component-resolved diagnosis (CRD) with recombinant allergens may assist with the diag...
متن کاملDetecting potential IgE-reactive sites on food proteins using a sequence and structure database, SDAP-food.
The high incidence of food allergies, including oral allergy syndrome, represent major considerations when introducing new crops and foods. A new structural database of allergenic proteins, SDAP-Food, http://fermi.utmb.edu/SDAP/, has been developed to aid in predicting the IgE-binding potential of novel food proteins and cross-reactivities among known allergens. The site is designed to facilita...
متن کاملVariable expression of pathogenesis-related protein allergen in mountain cedar (Juniperus ashei) pollen.
Allergic diseases have been increasing in industrialized countries. The environment is thought to have both direct and indirect modulatory effects on disease pathogenesis, including alterating on the allergenicity of pollens. Certain plant proteins known as pathogenesis-related proteins appear to be up-regulated by certain environmental conditions, including pollutants, and some have emerged as...
