“…Thaumatins, other plant defence proteins, have been found that are more intensely expressed in response to environmental attacks (Cortegano et al, 2004;Suárez-Cervera et al, 2008b). The effect of air-pollution on pollen grains as well the effects of diverse treatments and other environmental aggressions on fruits explain the increased expression of nsLTPs, which can affect the health of the inhabitants in developed countries (Salcedo et al, 2007).…”

“…Overexpression of TLPs appears to enhance resistance to fungal disease (Liu et al 1994;Zhu et al 1996;Chen et al 1999). Moreover, TLPs in various plant-derived foods (Hoffmann-Sommergruber 2002) and conifer pollen (Midoro-Horiuti et al 2000;Cortegano et al 2004) are allergens.…”

Enhancement of resistance by exploiting stress resistance-related genes offers the most efficient approach to address this issue. Among the stress resistance-related genes, thaumatin-like proteins (TLPs) play a vital role in enhancement of resistance against stresses. In this study, we identified 12 TLPs from B. oleracea genomic DNA sequencing database, analyzed their sequences and compared with other published pathogenesis-related TLPs, and found a high degree of homology with them. In addition, these genes showed an organ-specific expression, three of which expressed differentially after Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum infection in cabbage plants. Data obtained in this study suggest the probable involvement of TLPs in resistance against soft rot disease of Brassica.

“…This suggests that Cry j 3 is an important allergen in some patients. It has been reported that the expression level and allergenic activity of TLPs vary under different environmental conditions (20). Therefore, the importance of Cry j 3 as a Japanese cedar allergen may differ among years and locations.…”

Background-Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica) pollinosis is the most prevalent allergy in Japan. Recently, the Japanese cedar pollen allergen Cry j 3 was cloned as a homologue of Jun a 3, which is a major allergen from mountain cedar (Juniperus ashei) pollen. However, native Cry j 3 has not been isolated and there are no reports on its allergenic activity. The aims of this study were to isolate native Cry j 3 and assess its immunoglobulin E (IgE)-binding capacity in patients with Japanese cedar pollinosis.

Cloning and expression of a major allergen from Cupressus arizonica pollen, Cup a 3, a PR‐5 protein expressed under polluted environment

Abstract: Cup a 3 is a PR-5 protein derived from C. arizonica pollen. The expression of the protein under polluted conditions has a direct incidence on the pollen allergenicity, as has been demonstrated by skin tests and Radioallergosorbent test inhibition.
