The cross-linking reactions of Ara h 2 were catalyzed by polyphenol oxidase (PPO), and the relevant reaction sites were identified using mass spectrometry and StavroX software. Two pairs of intramolecular cross-linking peptides and two intermolecular cross-linking peptides were found. Intramolecular cross-linking was speculated to occur between ARG131 (aa 116-131) and TYR65 (aa 63-80) and between TYR60 (aa 56-62) and ARG92 (aa 92-102); the intermolecular cross-linking sites were ARG31 , TYR84 , TYR89 and TYR65 , TYR72 , ARG92, and ARG102 . Three out of four cross-linking peptides were found in alpha-helices, and destruction of this secondary structure caused a loose tertiary structure. Although seven linear allergen epitopes were involved in cross-linking, the Ig E binding capacity of protein changed slightly, while its sensitization potential decreased in mouse model.
