Structural Basis for the IgE-Binding Cross-Reacting Epitopic Peptides of Cup s 3, a PR-5 Thaumatin-like Protein Allergen from Common Cypress (Cupressus sempervirens) Pollen

Résumé

The present work was aimed at identifying the IgE-binding epitopic regions on the surface of the Cup s 3 allergen from the common cypress Cupressus sempervirens, that are possibly involved in the IgE-binding cross-reactivity reported between Cupressaceae species. Three main IgE-binding epitopic regions were mapped on the molecular surface of Cup s 3, the PR-5 thaumatin-like allergen of common cypress Cupressus sempervirens. They correspond to exposed areas containing either electropositive (R, K) or electronegative (D, E) residues. A coalescence occurs between epitopes #1 and #2, that creates an extended IgE-binding regions on the surface of the allergen. Epitope #3 contains a putative N-glycosylation site which is actually glycosylated and could therefore comprise a glycotope. However, most of the allergenic potency of Cup s 3 depends on non-glycosylated epitopic peptides. The corresponding regions of thaumatin-like allergens from other closely related Cupressaceae (Cryptomeria, Juniperus, Thuja) exhibit a very similar conformation that should account for the IgE-binding cross-reactivity observed among the Cupressaceae allergens.
