With the growing problem of the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, the search for
alternative ways to combat bacterial infections is extremely urgent. While analyzing the effect …

Plant food allergens can be classified into families and superfamilies on the basis of their
structural and functional properties. The most widespread groups of plant proteins that …

In general, this overview covers literature from 1999 until early 2003. Topics covered include
aspects of the biosynthesis and transport of brassinosteroids, their effects on cell division …

Pollen‐allergic patients frequently present allergic symptoms after ingestion of several kinds
of plant‐derived foods. The majority of these reactions is caused by four distinct cross …

Physical, chemical and biological stress factors, such as microbial infection, upregulate the
transcription levels of a number of plant genes, coding for the so‐called pathogenesis …

Pathogenesis related (PR) proteins are one of the major sources of plant derived allergens.
These proteins are induced by the plants as a defense response system in stress conditions …

The aim of this review is to present the current state of our understanding on the structure,
regulation, and function of plant pathogenesis-related protein family 10 (PR-10). This protein …

The steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR)-related lipid transfer (START) domain is a
protein module of∼ 210 residues that binds lipids, including sterols. Fifteen mammalian …

Plant food allergens belong to a rather limited number of protein families and are also
characterized by a number of biochemical and physicochemical properties, many of which …

Background The major birch pollen allergen, Bet v 1, is a member of the ubiquitous PR-10
family of plant pathogenesis-related proteins. In recent years, a number of diverse plant …
