Fast omega-gliadins were minor components of wheat storage proteins but a major antigen triggering allergy to wheat. Sixty-six novel full-length fast omega-gliadin genes with unique characteristics were cloned and sequenced from wheat and its relative species using a PCR-based strategy. Their coding regions ranged from 177 bp to 987 bp in length and encoded 4.28 kDa to 37.56 kDa proteins. On the base of first three deduced amino acids at the N-terminal, these genes could be classified into the six subclasses of SRL-, TRQ-, GRL-, NRL-, SRP- and SRM-type omega-gliadin genes. Compared by multiple alignments, these genes were significantly different from each other, due to the insertion or deletion at the repetitive domain. An analysis of the IgE-binding epitopes of the 66 deduced fast omega-gliadins demonstrated that they contained 0-24 IgE-binding epitopes. The phylogenetic tree demonstrated that the fast omega-gliadins and slow omega-gliadins were separated into two groups and their divergence time was 21.64 million years ago. Sequence data of the fast omega-gliadin genes assist in the study of the origins and evolutions of the different types of omega-gliadins while also providing a basis for the synthesis of monoclonal antibodies to detect wheat antigen content.
