Cross-reactivity and crystal structure of Malassezia sympodialis Thioredoxin (Mala s 13), a member of a new pan-allergen familyCross-reactivity and crystal structure of Malassezia sympodialis Thioredoxin (Mala s 13), a member of a new pan-allergen family

Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedWe have identified thioredoxins (Trx) of Malassezia sympodialis, a yeast involved in the pathogenesis of atopic eczema, and of Aspergillus fumigatus, a fungus involved in pulmonary complications, as novel IgE-binding proteins. We show that these Trx, including the human enzyme, represent cross-reactive structures recognized by serum IgE from individuals sensitized to M. sympodialis Trx. Moreover, all three proteins were able to elicit immediate-type allergic skin reactions in sensitized individuals, indicating a humoral immune response based on molecular mimicry. To analyze structural elements involved in these reactions, the three-dimensional structure of M. sympodialis Trx (Mala s 13) has been determined at 1.4-A resolution by x-ray diffraction analysis. The structure was solved by molecular replacement and refined to a crystallographic R factor of 14.0% and a free R factor of 16.8% and shows the typical Trx fold. Mala s 13 shares 45% sequence identity with human Trx and superposition of the solved Mala s 13 structure with those of human Trx reveals a high similarity with a root mean square deviation of 1.11 A for all Calpha atoms. In a detailed analysis of the molecular surface in combination with sequence alignment, we identified conserved solvent-exposed amino acids scattered over the surface in both structures which cluster to patches, thus forming putative conformational B cell epitopes potentially involved in IgE-mediated cross- and autoreactivity.
