Abstract<\/h2>\n

Coeliac disease (CD) is triggered by the ingestion of gluten proteins from wheat, rye, and barley. The 33-mer peptide from \u03b12-gliadin has frequently been described as the most important CD-immunogenic sequence within gluten. However, from more than 890 published amino acid sequences of \u03b1-gliadins, only 19 sequences contain the 33-mer. In order to make a precise assessment of the importance of the 33-mer, it is necessary to elucidate which wheat species and cultivars contain the peptide and at which concentrations. This paper presents the development of a stable isotope dilution assay followed by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry to quantitate the 33-mer in flours of 23 hexaploid modern and 15 old common (bread) wheat as well as two spelt cultivars. All flours contained the 33-mer peptide at levels ranging from 91\u2013603\u2009\u03bcg\/g flour. In contrast, the 33-mer was absent (<limit of detection) from tetra- and diploid species (durum wheat, emmer, einkorn), most likely because of the absence of the D-genome, which encodes \u03b12-gliadins. Due to the presence of the 33-mer in all common wheat and spelt flours analysed here, the special focus in the literature on this most immunodominant peptide seems to be justified\u2026\u2026Omissis\u2026..<\/p>\n

Analysis of durum wheat, emmer and einkorn<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 33-mer peptide was also analysed in two durum wheat and two emmer cultivars (genome AABB) as well as two diploid einkorn cultivars (genome AA) (Table 1<\/a>). In each of these wheat species, the 33-mer was not detected (<LOD). In comparison to hexaploid common wheat, durum wheat, emmer, and einkorn do not contain the D-genome, which originated from hybridisation of T. turgidum dicoccum<\/em> (genome AABB) with Aegilops tauschii<\/em> (genome DD)36<\/sup><\/a>. The absence of the 33-mer peptide can be explained by the fact that this peptide is encoded by genes located in the Gli-2 locus on chromosome 6D, which is missing in durum wheat, emmer, and einkorn. Studies by Molberg et al<\/em>. showed clear variations in intestinal T-cell responses between common wheat and tetra- or diploid species due to different degrees of T-cell immunoreactivity between the gluten proteins encoded on the A-, B-, and D-genome. Einkorn cultivars were only recognized by DQ2.5-glia-\u03b11a-specific T-cell clones, but not by DQ2.5-glia-\u03b11b- and DQ2.5-glia-\u03b12-specific T-cell clones. Emmer and durum wheat cultivars were all recognized by DQ2.5-glia-\u03b11a-specific T-cell clones, but only two out of four emmer cultivars and three out of ten durum wheat cultivars activated DQ2.5-glia-\u03b11b- and DQ2.5-glia-\u03b12-specific T-cell clones37<\/sup><\/a>. Consistent with our results, Prandi et al<\/em>.38<\/sup><\/a> found that the 33-mer was not present in durum wheat. As a consequence, this peptide was used as a marker peptide to identify the presence of common wheat in durum wheat flours. One durum wheat cultivar was also analysed by van den Broeck et al<\/em>.33<\/sup><\/a> and the 33-mer peptide was not detected either\u201d. https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/4.0\/deed.it<\/p>\n
