  ABSTRACT: Profilin is a small actin-binding protein that is essential in all organisms. While the wheat genome sequence database is not currently available, the exploration of bioinformatics is very important. Therefore, this article predicted the structure and function of profilin in wheat by bioinformatics methods. The amino acid sequence of profilin was searched in GeneBack. While its signal peptides were analyzed through CBS prediction server, the hydrophobicities were analyzed by bioedit software, we used EMBnet server and DNAstar to analyse the transmembrane domains and the B-cell epitopes of the profilin respectively. Finally, the tertiary structure of the protein was predicted through Swiss-Model. This information will help develop rational strategies to improve the component-resolving diagnosis and immunotherapy of profilin allergy.
