Comparisons of Allergenic and Metazoan Parasite Proteins: Allergy the Price of Immunity
Fig 6
A. Sequence alignment of the epitopic region from profilin protein (allergenic) from Betula pendula (European white birch) (UniProt accession: P25816) and predicted epitopic-like region from the worm Ascaris lumbricoides (UniProt accession: F1LGV9). B. Superposition of the 3D structure of plant allergenic protein (PDB accession: 1CQA) (colored in green) and the 3D structural model of profilin protein from the worm Ascaris lumbricoides (in cyan). Epitope (allergen) and predicted epitopic-like regions (parasite protein) are depicted in the box.
