It is generally accepted that during the domestication of food plants, selection was focused on their productivity, the ease of their technological processing into food, and resistance to pathogens and environmental stressors. Besides, the palatability of plant foods and their health benefits could also be subjected to selection by humans in the past. Nonetheless, it is unclear whether in antiquity, aside from positive selection for beneficial properties of plants, humans simultaneously selected against such detrimental properties as allergenicity. This topic is becoming increasingly relevant as the allergization of the population grows, being a major challenge for modern medicine. That is why intensive research by breeders is already underway for creating hypoallergenic forms of food plants. Accordingly, in this paper, albumin, globulin, and β-amylase of common wheat Triticum aestivum L. (1753) are analyzed, which have been identified earlier as targets for attacks by human class E immunoglobulins. At the genomic level, we wanted to find signs of past negative selection against the allergenicity of these three proteins (albumin, globulin, and β-amylase) during the domestication of ancestral forms of modern food plants. We focused the search on the TATA-binding protein (TBP)-binding site because it is located within a narrow region (between positions -70 and -20 relative to the corresponding transcription start sites), is the most conserved, necessary for primary transcription initiation, and is the best-studied regulatory genomic signal in eukaryotes. Our previous studies presented our publicly available Web service Plant_SNP_TATA_Z-tester, which makes it possible to estimate the equilibrium dissociation constant (KD) of TBP complexes with plant proximal promoters (as output data) using 90 bp of their DNA sequences (as input data). In this work, by means of this bioinformatics tool, 363 gene promoter DNA sequences representing 43 plant species were analyzed. It was found that compared with non-food plants, food plants are characterized by significantly weaker affinity of TBP for proximal promoters of their genes homologous to the genes of common-wheat globulin, albumin, and β-amylase (food allergens) (p < 0.01, Fisher's Z-test). This evidence suggests that in the past humans carried out selective breeding to reduce the expression of food plant genes encoding these allergenic proteins.
人们普遍认为,在食用植物的驯化过程中,选择主要集中在它们的生产力、加工成食物的难易程度以及对病原体和环境压力的抗性上。此外,植物性食物的适口性及其健康益处过去也可能受到人类的选择。然而,目前尚不清楚在古代,除了对植物有益特性进行正向选择外,人类是否同时对诸如致敏性等有害特性进行了反向选择。随着人群过敏化现象的增加,这个话题变得越来越重要,这是现代医学面临的一个重大挑战。这就是为什么育种者已经在进行深入研究以培育低致敏性的食用植物品种。因此,在本文中,对普通小麦(Triticum aestivum L.,1753)的白蛋白、球蛋白和β -淀粉酶进行了分析,这些蛋白先前已被确定为人类E类免疫球蛋白攻击的目标。在基因组水平上,我们想找到在现代食用植物祖先形式的驯化过程中,针对这三种蛋白质(白蛋白、球蛋白和β -淀粉酶)致敏性进行过去负向选择的迹象。我们将搜索重点放在TATA结合蛋白(TBP)结合位点上,因为它位于一个狭窄区域(相对于相应转录起始位点在 -70至 -20位之间),是最保守的,是初级转录起始所必需的,并且是真核生物中研究最充分的调控基因组信号。我们之前的研究展示了我们公开可用的网络服务Plant_SNP_TATA_Z - tester,它可以使用90个碱基对的DNA序列(作为输入数据)来估计TBP与植物近端启动子复合物的平衡解离常数(KD)(作为输出数据)。在这项工作中,借助这个生物信息学工具,分析了代表43种植物的363个基因启动子DNA序列。结果发现,与非食用植物相比,食用植物的特征在于TBP对其与普通小麦球蛋白、白蛋白和β -淀粉酶(食物过敏原)基因同源的基因的近端启动子的亲和力明显较弱(p < 0.01,Fisher Z检验)。这一证据表明,过去人类进行了选择性育种以降低编码这些致敏蛋白的食用植物基因表达。
