The 2S albumin proteins in sesame seeds partially share amino acid sequence and structure with 2S albumin proteins from other plants. (wikipedia.org)
Mass spectrometric evidence suggested that the protein presented microheterogeneity at its termini, i,e,, truncated forms presumably due to processing heterogeneity, The present characterization of the 2S ASP-Ib protein, the second 2S albumin from Ricinus communis seeds, demonstrates that the 237-residue precursor protein codes for two different heterodimer proteins containing 97 and 99 residues each, This system should be useful for studying the posttranslational processing of plant storage proteins.

We hypothesize that allergenic proteins in seeds may have similar amino acid sequences that cause the observed cross-sensitivity. (claremont.edu)
Here, we test the hypothesis that similarity in the protein sequences of allergenic nuts drives cross-sensitivity and cross-reactivity by reconstructing the gene trees of three allergenic seed-storage proteins (vicilin, legumin, and 2S albumin) from species sampled across vascular plants. (claremont.edu)
In general, evolutionary relationships of the three proteins are congruent with the current understanding of plant species relationships. (claremont.edu)
Our data thus suggest that features of the proteins other than their amino acid sequences may be driving the cross-reactivity observed during in vitro tests and skin tests. (claremont.edu)
