pubmed:abstractText |
Faecally enriched extracts of Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus were shown to contain a trypsin-like enzyme which was allergenic. Chromatofocusing studies revealed the presence of nine major isoforms in D. pteronyssinus, with pI in the range 4 to greater than 8, but only two (range 4-5) in D. farinae. Trypsin isolated from D. pteronyssinus by benzamidine-Sepharose 6B affinity chromatography and gelfiltration was found to be a 31-kDa protein which was enzymatically similar to both invertebrate and vertebrate trypsins. The N-terminal sequence obtained (IVGGEXALAGEXPYQISL) was identical to that reported for the mite allergen Der p III and showed homology with crayfish trypsin and Der f III from D. farinae. Mite trypsin underwent autolysis and the N-terminal sequences of two fragments were found to be ALAGEXPYQI and NNQVXGI respectively. Both showed homology with crayfish trypsin, and the former sequence was identical to residues 7-18 of the native enzyme and Der p III. All isoforms of mite trypsin were showed to be allergenic by radioallergosorbent assay and further studies indicated that the trypsin degradation products were also allergenic. The enzyme was compared with other mite allergens and the rank order of allergenic potency was shown to be: whole mite extract greater than Der p I greater than trypsin. However, all sera from a panel of mite allergic individuals showed IgE reactivity to trypsin, comparable to that seen using whole mite extract and Der p I. These data indicate that mite trypsin is a major allergen corresponding to the previously described allergen, Der p III.
