| Abstract | Parvalbumin is a sarcoplasmic Ca$^{2+}$-binding protein of 12 kDa and represents the major fish allergen. Several peptide segments are identified as immunoglobulin E (lgE)-binding epitopes of cod parvalbumin. However, carp parvalbumin (Cyp c 1) shows a markedly reduced IgE-binding ability upon depletion of Ca$^{2+}$, suggesting the importance of conformational epitopes associated with Ca$^{2+}$-chelating. In this study, the IgE reactivity of Pacific mackerel Scomber japonicus parvalbumin (Sco j 1) was demonstrated to be markedly reduced (60–100% reduction) by Ca$^{2+}$-depletion, similar to Cyp c 1. Three Sco j 1 mutants (D51A, D90A, D51/90A), with modifications in either one or both of the two Ca$^{2+}$-binding sites, were then constructed by site-directed mutagenesis, followed by expression in Escherichia coli, and evaluated for their IgE reactivity. Interestingly, the double mutant (D51/90A), probably devoid of Ca$^{2+}$-binding capacity, exhibited a significantly reduced IgE reactivity (equivalent to 0.0–7.5% of the IgE reactivity of natural Sco j 1). The results suggest that the IgE-binding ability of Sco j 1 largely depends on the solid conformation mediated by Ca$^{2+}$-chelating, and that the hypoallergenic D51/90A will be a useful tool for the specific immunotherapy of fish allergy. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
