a Ribbon and stick models of rHev b 8 (pink) and rZea m 12 (cyan) profilins (RMSD 0.307 Å). Different residues between both profilins (E14, N98, I118, and D128) are circled in dotted lines; this epitope region is part of the polyproline binding site in profilins. b Sequence alignment between rHev b 8 and rZea m 12, green arrows show conserved residues in the epitope, and yellow arrows show different residues. c Paratope residues of Fab/IgE 2F5 and the four residues in rHev b 8 that are different in rZea m 12 are displayed as sticks. rHev b 8 epitope residues are shown in pink, the Fab heavy chain residues in green, and the Fab light chain residues in yellow. Dotted lines indicate residues interactions.
