http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/0009898190900824 Detection and estimation of the barley prolamin content of beer and malt to assess their suitability for patients with coeliac disease -a study confirming that beer contains levels of gluten antigens harmful to Celiacs.

http://www.sciencemag.org/content/297/5590/2275.full Structural Basis for Gluten Intolerance in Celiac Sprue -The antigenicity of gluten seems to be due to proline and glutamine rich peptides, the most prevalent one being the 33-mer listed above. The sequence seems to be fairly conserved across barley and wheat.Three distinct patient-specific T cell epitopes identified previously in T cell proliferation assays are present in this peptide, namely, PFPQPQLPY, PQPQLPYPQ (three copies), and PYPQPQLPY (two copies).

http://www.sunrisescience.com/Files/pTEF-MF.pdf pTEF-MF constitutive yeast vector marked for secretion -MF-alpha secretion tag for yeast is used in this plasmid. I used the plasmid map to get the tag's sequence and BLASTed it. A 100% match confirmed that the sequence is present in yeast. We will attach this to the N-terminus of Kumamolisin, hopefully enabling the protein to be secreted in yeast.
