Abstract
Glandless cottonseed (Glc) is an exciting new food source but contains C72 and GC72A vicilin proteins similar to the Ara h 1 peanut allergen. The objective here was to evaluate some of the immunologic, catabolic, and bioactive peptide properties of the C72 and GC72A proteins. Immunoblot assay indicated that C72 and GC72A were recognized by three anti-Ara h 1 antibodies. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with purified native C72 and GC72A showed they were recognized by IgE from 13 of 25 (∼50%) peanut or tree-nut-allergic sera. A subset of these sera also recognized recombinant C72 and GC72A. In vitro simulated digestion indicated that Glc proteins were readily digested. In silico analysis revealed that C72, GC72A, and other cupin domains containing Glc proteins are potential sources of bioactive peptides. The results presented here indicate that the C72 and GC72A proteins represent an allergen concern and potential source of bioactive peptides in food applications.
