Computational approach for the identification of putative allergens from Cucurbitaceae family members
Journal of Food Science and Technology, 2020Co-Authors: Desam Neeharika, Swetha SunkarAbstract:Certain substances referred to as allergens, induce hypersensitivity (allergic reactions) which normally are considered to be innocuous, are small in size and incite IgE response. This study was focused to predict the putative allergens from other Cucurbitaceae family members using computational approach by analyzing the already reported allergens of the same family. The four reported allergens Cuc m 1, Cuc m 2, Cuc m 3 and Citr I 2 of Cucurbitaceae family were obtained from International Union of Immunological Societies, in which three were from Cucumis melo (Muskmelon) and one from Citrullus lanatus (Watermelon) respectively. BlastP analysis reported 44 similar sequences to these allergens from other members of Cucurbitaceae family namely Cucurbita moschata , Cucurbita pepo and Cucurbita maxima . The allergenicity of these sequences was predicted using AlgPred tool in which it revealed 26 protein sequences as putative allergens. These selected sequences were further analyzed for their physicochemical properties using ProtParam tool in which 13 sequences were found to satisfy the required parameters, and therefore further analyzed by AllerMatch™ and AllergenOnline tools to check the Codex Alimentarius rules for allergens. Finally, 13 sequences that were selected were structurally analyzed for similarity using PROMALS3D tool and phylogenetic relationship was established with the reported allergens using MEGA-X software. It was concluded that 13 sequences from Cucurbitaceae family belonging to different species of Pumpkin showed potential allergenicity based on the computational analysis that possibly can play a role in allergies and cross reactivity.

The bottle gourd genome provides insights into Cucurbitaceae evolution and facilitates mapping of a Papaya ring-spot virus resistance locus
Plant Journal, 2017Co-Authors: Md Shamimuzzaman, Honghe Sun, Jérôme Salse, Xuelian Sui, Alan Wilder, Amnon Levi, Kai-shu Ling, Zhangjun FeiAbstract:Bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria) is an important vegetable crop as well as a rootstock for other cucurbit crops. In this study, we report a high-quality 313.4-Mb genome sequence of a bottle gourd inbred line, USVL1VR-Ls, with a scaffold N50 of 8.7 Mb and the longest of 19.0 Mb. About 98.3% of the assembled scaffolds are anchored to the 11 pseudomolecules. Our comparative genomic analysis identifies chromosome-level syntenic relationships between bottle gourd and other cucurbits, as well as lineage-specific gene family expansions in bottle gourd. We reconstructed the genome of the most recent common ancestor of Cucurbitaceae, which revealed that the ancestral Cucurbitaceae karyotypes consisted of 12 protochromosomes with 18 534 protogenes. The 12 protochromosomes are largely retained in the modern melon genome, while have undergone different degrees of shuffling events in other investigated cucurbit genomes. The 11 bottle gourd chromosomes derive from the ancestral Cucurbitaceae karyotypes followed by 19 chromosomal fissions and 20 fusions. The bottle gourd genome sequence has facilitated the mapping of a dominant monogenic locus, Prs, conferring Papaya ring-spot virus (PRSV) resistance in bottle gourd, to a 317.8-kb region on chromosome 1. We have developed a cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPS) marker tightly linked to the Prs locus and demonstrated its potential application in marker-assisted selection of PRSV resistance in bottle gourd. This study provides insights into the paleohistory of Cucurbitaceae genome evolution, and the high-quality genome sequence of bottle gourd provides a useful resource for plant comparative genomics studies and cucurbit improvement.

Efisiensi Tular Benih Squash mosaic virus pada Cucurbitaceae
Jurnal Fitopatologi Indonesia, 2014Co-Authors: Susanti Mugi Lestari, Endang NurhayatiAbstract:Infection of viruses on Cucurbitaceae may cause high yield and economic losses. Squash mosaic virus is a seed borne virus and among the most important virus infecting Cucurbitaceae. The aims of these research was to detect infection of several viruses on Cucurbitaceae and to examine seed transmission efficiency of SqMV. Detection of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), Squash mosaic virus (SqMV), Watermelon mosaic virus-2 (WMV-2), Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV), and Tobacco ringspot virus (TRSV) from field samples and seeds was conducted using Indirect-ELISA method. Infection of CMV, SqMV and ZYMV was detected from field samples. Seed transmission of SqMV on commercial seeds of bottle gourd, watermelon, zucchini, cabocha, cucumber, and melon was 13, 13, 33, 73, 100, and 100%, respectively. Seed transmission of ZYMV was only occurred on bottle gourd and zucchini, i.e. 13.3% and 26.67%, respectively. Infection of SqMV through F2 seed was determined from cucumber, bottle gourd, and melon, i.e. 93, 100, and 100%, respectively. Therefore, the status of SqMV as quarantine pest should be evaluated since SqMV was already found in West Java.

2014Co-Authors: Susanti Mugi Lestari, Endang NurhayatiAbstract:Infeksi virus pada tanaman Cucurbitaceae dapat menyebabkan kegagalan panen dan kerugian ekonomi yang tinggi. Salah satu virus utama yang terbawa benih tanaman Cucurbitaceae ialah Squash mosaic virus (SqMV). Penelitian ini bertujuan mendeteksi keberadaan beberapa virus pada tanaman Cucurbitaceae dan menguji efisiensi tular benih SqMV. Deteksi Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), SqMV, Watermelon mosaic virus-2 (WMV-2), Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV), dan Tobacco ringspot virus (TRSV) pada sampel daun dan benih Cucurbitaceae dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode Indirect-ELISA. Infeksi CMV, SqMV, dan ZYMV terdeteksi pada sampel daun dari lapangan. Persentase SqMV tertular melalui benih komersial oyong, semangka, zucchini, kabocha, mentimun, dan melon berturut-turut adalah 13, 13, 33, 73, 100, dan 100%. Infeksi ZYMV hanya ditemukan pada benih oyong dan zucchini berturut-turut sebanyak 13% dan 27%. Infeksi SqMV terbawa benih keturunan kedua (F2) ditemukan pada biji mentimun, oyong, dan melon berturut-turut 93, 100, dan 100% benih. Status SqMV sebagai organisme pengganggu tumbuhan karantina A1 perlu ditinjau kembali karena SqMV telah ditemukan di Jawa Barat. Kata kunci: Cucumber mosaic virus, indirect-ELISA, Zucchini yellow mosaic virus
