The yeast Malassezia Sympodialis, part of the normal human cutaneous flora, can act as an allergen eliciting specific IgE and T-cell reactivity in patients with AE. The major M. sympodialis allergen Mala s 1 is localized mainly in the yeast cell wall and exposed on the cell surface. Interestingly, Mala s 1 does not exhibit any significant sequence homology to known proteins. Here we present the crystal structure of Mala s 1 determined by single-wavelength anomalous dispersion techniques using selenomethionine-substituted Mala s 1. Mala s 1 folds into a 6-fold beta-propeller, a novel fold among allergens. The putative active site of Mala s 1 overlaps structurally to putative active sites in potential homologues, Q4P4P8 and Tri 14, from the plant parasites Ustilago maydis and Gibberella zeae, respectively. This resemblance suggests that Mala s 1 and the parasite proteins may have similar functions. In addition, we show that Mala s 1 binds to the phosphoinositides (PI) PI(3)P, PI(4)P, and PI(5)P, lipids possibly playing a role in the localization of Mala s 1 to the cell surface. The crystal structure of Mala s 1 will provide insights into the role of this major allergen in the host-microbe interactions and induction of an allergic response in AE."xsd:string |
