- * Pathogenesis-related proteins BetvI family signature *
- ********************************************************
-
- A number of plant proteins, which all seem to be involved in pathogen defense
- response, are structurally related [1,2,3]. These proteins are:
-
- - Asparagus wound-induced protein AoPR1.
- - Kidney bean pathogenesis-related proteins 1 and 2.
- - Parsley pathogenesis-related proteins PR1-1 and PR1-3.
- - Pea disease resistance response proteins pI49 and pI176.
- - Potato pathogenesis-related proteins STH-2 and STH-21.
- - Soybean stress-induced protein SAM22.
- - Bet v I, the major pollen allergen from white birch. Bet v I is the main
- cause of type I allergic reactions in Europe, North America and USSR.
-
- These proteins are thought to be intracellularly located. They contain from
- 155 to 160 amino acid residues. As a signature pattern, we selected a
- conserved region located in the third quarter of these proteins.
-
- -Consensus pattern: G-x(2)-[LIVMF]-x(4)-E-x(2)-[STN]-x(8,9)-[ND]-G-G-[CS]-
- x(2)-K-x(4)-[FY]
- -Sequences known to belong to this class detected by the pattern: ALL.
- -Other sequence(s) detected in SWISS-PROT: NONE.
- -Last update: June 1994 / Pattern and text revised.
