- * Pollen proteins Ole e I family signature *
- ********************************************
-
- 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.

- 'C': conserved cysteine involved in a disulfide bond.
- '*': position of the pattern.
-
- -Consensus pattern: [EQ]-G-x-V-Y-C-D-T-C-R
- [The two C's are probably involved in disulfide bonds]
- -Sequences known to belong to this class detected by the pattern: ALL.
- -Other sequence(s) detected in SWISS-PROT: NONE.
