Epitope mapping and identification on a 3D model built for the tartary buckwheat allergic protein TBb.

Abstract:

:Allergic protein TBb, a major allergen in tartary buckwheat, was divided into four epitope-containing fragments and was named F1, F2, F3, and F4, respectively. Results of immunological assays revealed that F2 had the strongest IgE-binding activity to patient's sera, which indicated that it might contain the linear IgE-binding epitope of TBb. According to the results of sequence analysis and molecular modeling of tartary buckwheat allergen, three mutants of F2 gene (R139A, R141A, and D144A) were reconstructed using site-directed mutagenesis, and each mutant was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). Following purification by Ni(2+) affinity chromatography, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and dot blot were performed for wild-type F2 and its mutants using sera from buckwheat-allergic patients and a negative control (non-allergic patient). Results showed that mutants R139A and D144A had weaker IgE-binding activity to patient's sera than wild-type F2, implying that Arg(139) and Asp(144) might be involved in the allergic activity of TBb. However, R141A had the weakest IgE-binding activity, suggesting that Arg(141) may be the critical amino acid of TBb. This is the first report on the epitope mapping and identification of TBb. Our findings will contribute to the production of TBb hypoallergens and to allergen-specific immunotherapy for tartary buckwheat allergy.
