Sixty-three α-gliadin open reading frames (ORF) were characterized from diploid Lophopyrum elongatum and tetroploid Elymus sibiricus. Sequence comparison revealed that about 90% of them contained an internal stop codon or frameshift. Alignment between these ORFs and reported α-gliadin sequences reveal that they coded identical signal peptide domain, repetitive domain and C-terminal region, except polyglumatine domains. Analysis of the first three codons in repetitive domains reveals two new types of motifs (GRV and RV). Novel types of motifs, including (Q)3AR(Q)5, (Q)2AR(Q)5, (Q)3A, were characterized in the first polyglumatine region. Three known types of celiac disease (CD) epitopes in Triticum were screened and compared in the repetitive and the C-terminal unique domains. A potential real gene (EU016530) from E. sibiricus contained two types of CD epitode (glia-α^2 and glia-α), whereas, the real genes from diploid L. elongatum are found to contain no CD epitode, only with pseudogenes EU018257 containing glia-α. Phylogenetic analysis showed that α-gliadins from diploid L. elongatum were closely related to those from decaploid L. elongatum, while that from E. sibiricus were more homologous with those from other Triticum species.
