PG - 308-314 LID - 10.1002/jsfa.10040 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Peanut is among the most common of food allergies, and one of its allergens is Ara h 2. A previous study revealed that this allergen was recognized by serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) in over 90% of a peanut-allergic patient population. Enzymatic cross-linking is a popular processing method used to tailor food functionality, such as antigenicity. RESULT: The cross-linking reactions of Ara h 2 were catalyzed by polyphenol oxidase (PPO), and the relevant reaction sites were identified using mass spectrometry and StavroX software. Two pairs of intramolecular cross-linking peptides and two intermolecular cross-linking peptides were found. Intramolecular cross-linking was speculated to occur between ARG(131) (amino acids 116-131) and TYR(65) (amino acids 63-80) and between TYR(60) (amino acids 56-62) and ARG(92) (amino acids 92-102); the intermolecular cross-linking sites were ARG(31) with TYR(84) or TYR(89) and TYR(65) or TYR(72) with ARG(92) or ARG(102) . Three out of four cross-linking peptides were found in alpha-helices, and destruction of this secondary structure resulted in a loose tertiary structure. Although seven linear allergen epitopes were involved in cross-linking, the IgE binding capacity of protein changed slightly, while its sensitization potential decreased in mouse model. CONCLUSION: Exploring the structural change of Ara h 2 after cross-linking is beneficial in further understanding the influence of structure on sensitization. This result indicated the future possibility of precision processing on structure of proteins to improve their properties. (c) 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.
