Proteomic screening of strawberry (Fragaria ananassa) yielded a 58% success rate in protein identification in spite of the fact that no genomic sequence is available for this species. This was achieved by a combination of MALDI‐MS/MS de novo sequencing of double‐derivatized peptides and indel‐tolerant searching against local protein databases built on both EST and full‐length nucleotide sequences. The amino acid sequence of a strawberry allergen, homologous to the well‐known major birch pollen…

The results imply that PR‐10 proteins might be integrated into a protein‐interaction network and FaAP binding appears to be essential for the physiological function of the Fra a 1 proteins.
Solution structure of the strawberry allergen Fra a 1

The three-dimensional structure of Fra a 1E contains the glycine-rich loop that is highly conserved throughout the protein family, and the volume of the hydrophobic pocket and the size of its entrance are much larger than expected.
