Pollen proteins Ole e I family signature





Description

The following plant pollen proteins, whose biological function is not yet known, are structurally related [1]:

  • Olive tree pollen major allergen (Ole e I).
  • Tomato anther-specific protein LAT52.
  • Maize pollen-specific protein ZmC13.

These proteins are most probably secreted and consist of about 145 residues. As shown in the following schematic representation, there are six cysteines which are conserved in the sequence of these proteins. They seem to be involved in disulfide bonds.
