Figure 7
Amino-acid alignment of Ves v 2, Dol m 2, Pol a 2 (major group 2 allergen from Polistes annularis), Api c 2 (major group 2 allergen from A. cerana) and Api m 2. The annotation of the secondary-structural elements (e for extended β-strand and h for helix) in the (β/α)7 core (labelled e1–e7 and h2–h7) is based on the assignments made with the program DSSP (Kabsch & Sander, 1983). The important carboxylates Asp107 and Glu109 in the active site are marked by a # and other conserved residues in the active site are marked by *. Areas with conserved amino-acid residues are coloured blue, while similar residues are coloured magenta. |
