Abstract
Solving Quantum Mechanics (QM) many-body electronic problems in molecular systems has become one of the most contested targets of modern Machine Learning (ML). Among the most fundamental properties of molecules, we find the electron density: the probability of finding electrons in each region of space. By only knowing this property, it is possible to derive most other molecular aspects. In this thesis, we aim to predict the electron density of large molecules by employing Machine Learning. We first studied how to convert QM electron density into linear models by simple means. Once we found some fundamental aspects of such decompositions, we built both analytical datasets of electron densities and Neural Network-based ML methods. The resulting networks leverage the local environments of each atom to generate deformations on the atomic electron density, so that they turn into accurate molecular electron densities. By combining our approach with different heuristics and formulas, we reached several targets such as the description of electron densities in proteins of the calculation of intermolecular energies. We consider that this methodology has a promising future ahead in many relevant targets of computational chemistry.

Characterization of the biological activity of Pru P 3 in plant and intestinal epithelium

Abstract
Allergy is a serious social problem that impairs the quality of life of patients and is currently considered the most prevalent chronic disease in Europe. A large increase in its prevalence has occurred since the mid-twentieth century. However, the underlying causes for this increase and the factors that trigger allergy are still unknown. Knowing why a protein becomes an allergen would be essential in the prevention and treatment of allergy diseases. The main aim of this doctoral thesis was to study the molecular mechanisms involved in the allergic sensitization processes. Increasing evidence suggests that lipids transported by certain allergens can be recognized by cellular receptors of the immune system, and may play a prominent role in allergic sensitization. In this work, Pru p 3, the major allergen of the peach and a lipid-transfer protein (LTP), has been chosen as model. The lipid ligand of Pru p 3 has been structurally characterized for the first time using ESI-micrOTOF-QII. The ligand has thus been identified as a hydroxyl derivative of camptothecin bound to phytosphingosine, a hydrocarbon tail which is inserted into the hydrophobic tunnel of the protein. This result was validated by assays of inhibition of topoisomerase I as well as fluorescence emission at 254 nm, both features characteristic of camptothecin. Additionally, different in vitro techniques (such as RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry) were combined tocharacterize the possible role of the ligand in plant. The highest expression of Pru p 3 was detected in pollinated styles by contrast to its absence in non-pollinated flowers where the expression decreased after the antithesis. Besides, the highest expression of Pru p 3 was localized in the tricomas, but not in the pulp. These data, together with the inhibition of pollen germination by the ligand, suggest that Pru p 3 can inhibit a secondary pollination and keep herbivores away until seed maturation. Additionally, the immunological activity of the lipid ligand was evaluated using different in vitro models (moDC, PBMCs, THP1, and Caco2) and a mouse model of anaphylaxis. Thus, it was determined that the ligand was capable of modulating the immune system through a Th2 response, responsible for the activation of antigen presenting cells, and in increasing the capacity of allergic sensitization to Pru p 3 in a mouse model. Furthermore, the ligand was introduced by the CD1d receptor into the epithelial cells to activate iNKT cells. These results have been validated using the ex vivo model InTESTineTM with fragments of pig tissue. The ligand did not affect the transport of Pru p 3 through the intestinal barrier, but appears to remain accumulated in Peyer's Patches. The presence of the ligand was also observed to induce the expression of cytokines that are typical of a Th2 response like IL4 and IL13. Moreover, it was confirmed that Pru p 3 colocalized with the CD1d receptor in the presence of the ligand, as well as increasing the presence of iNKT cells. In summary, this thesis work represents a novel approach to characterize allergic response mechanisms and presents results which are useful for improving diagnosis and for providing a basis for new investigations related to allergy.

Abstract
Allergy is a social problem that represents a serious decrease in quality of life of the patients, being considered the biggest chronic disease in Europe today. Since mid-twentieth century, a large increase in the prevalence of these diseases has occurred. However, the underlying causes for this increase and the factors that trigger allergy are still unknown. The knowledge of these factors would be very valuable to prevent and treat allergy disease. The main aim of this doctoral thesis was to study the molecular mechanisms involved in the allergic sensitization processes. With this purpose, the research was focused on Alt a 1, the major allergen from the fungus Alternaria alternata, which has been characterized from structural, physiological, and immunological standpoints. Alt a 1 protein is related to chronic asthma and pathogenesis in plants, although its biological function still remains unknown. However, this allergen has been characterized in this doctoral thesis as an effector which is released when the fungal spores reach the plant surface and is able to inhibit plant defense proteins such as PR5. On the other side, based upon the three-dimensional structure of Alt a 1 obtained in X-ray crystallography, this doctoral thesis also presents an in silico study of the behavior, stability, and properties of several aggregation states of this singular allergen. This study, conducted on salt aqueous solution by means of Molecular Dynamics simulations, has managed to elucidate the dynamical evolution of stabilities, properties, and interactions of the different oligomerization states of Alt a 1 that happened to depend on the presence of ligands and on the pH of the medium. By combining experimental assays in vitro and computational procedures for analyses in silico, the presence of a flavonoid-type ligand bound to Alt a 1 has been also identified in this doctoral thesis. Although it has not been possible to elucidate the precise chemical nature of this ligand, the experimental evidence reported has allowed to propose a plausible structure based on a flavone-like moiety. Finally, the immune response triggered by Alt a 1 in bronchial epithelium was studied. In a similar manner to what happens when Alternaria contacts plants, it has been observed that the presence of fungal spores produces an increase in secretion of defense proteins. Moreover, is has been also observed that Alt a 1 is able to interact with those proteins. The sequence of events that lead to this molecular recognition occur with release of the ligand and promote dimerization of Alt a 1. This dimeric structure is that which is ultimately recognized by antigen presenting cells, thus triggering the allergic response. Summarizing, data presented in this doctoral thesis demonstrate that the knowledge of the biological activity of an allergen provide essential information to better understand its participation in the complex mechanisms that lead to the allergic process.

Abstract
Allergies are increasing their prevalence from mid twentieth century, and they are currently estimated to affect around 2-8% of the population but the underlying causes of this increase remain still elusive. The understanding of the mechanism by which a harmless protein becomes capable of inducing an allergic response provides us the basis to prevent and treat these diseases. Although the characterization of relevant allergens has led to improved clinical management and has helped to clarify the basic mechanisms of allergic reactions, it seems justified in aspiring to molecularly dissecting these allergens to establish the structural basis of their allergenicity and cross-reactivity. The aim of this thesis was to characterize the molecular basis of the allergenicity of model proteins belonging to different families (Lipid Transfer Proteins ¿LTPs-, and Thaumatin-like Proteins ¿TLPs-) in order to identify mechanisms that mediate sensitization and cross reactivity for developing new strategies in the management of allergy, both diagnosis and treatment, in the near future. With this purpose, two strategies have been conducted: studies of cross-reactivity among panallergen families and molecular studies of the contribution of cofactors in the induction of the allergic response by these panallergens. Following the first strategy, we studied the cross-reactivity among members of two plant panallergens (LTPs , Lipid Transfer Proteins , and TLPs , Thaumatin-like Proteins) using the peach allergy as a model. Similarly, we characterized the sensitization profiles to wheat allergens in baker's asthma development, the most relevant occupational disease. These studies were performed using allergen microarrays and the graph theory for analyzing the results. Regarding the second approach, we analyzed the interaction of plant allergens with immune and epithelial cells. To perform these studies , we examined the importance of ligands and co-transported molecules of plant allergens in the development of Th2 responses. To this end, Pru p 3, nsLTP (non-specific Lipid Transfer Protein) and peach major allergen, was selected as a model to investigate its interaction with cells of the human and murine immune systems as well as with the intestinal epithelium and the contribution of its ligand in inducing an allergic response was studied. Moreover, we analyzed the role of pathogen associated molecules in the induction of food allergy. For that, we selected the kiwi- alternaria system as a model and the role of Alt a 1 , major allergen of the fungus, in the development of Act d 2-sensitization was studied. In summary, this work presents an innovative research providing useful results for improving diagnosis and leading to further research on allergy and the final clarification of the mechanisms that characterize this disease

Abstract
Allergies have been becoming considerably more widespread since the middle of the last century, but the underlying causes of this increase are still unknown. The knowledge of the mechanism by which a protein that is, in principle, harmless to the human body becomes capable of inducing an allergic response provides us with a basis to prevent and treat these diseases. So far, the only treatment applied in food allergy is the avoidance of consumption of the allergenic source. However, the existence of cross-reactivity among allergens and specific sensitization profiles makes it difficult to predict which foods are related and, therefore, should be avoided by the patient. For the treatment of some allergies, such as bee venom, immunotherapy is yielding good results. Nevertheless, in food allergy, its use is not widespread because of the potential side effects that it may induce, such as anaphylactic shock, arising from the use of non-standardized extracts. To develop safe and effective immunotherapy, it is necessary to characterize the allergens involved at the molecular and immunological levels. LTPs and profilins are two important panallergen families, especially in southern Europe. They are responsible for cross-reactivity among different foods and/or pollen. Within these families, the peach LTP, Pru p 3, and the melon profilin, Cuc m 2, have been characterized as major allergens. The objective of this thesis was to study the molecular basis of the allergic reaction to these proteins in order to identify possible mechanisms that mediate sensitization and cross-reactivity, and to develop safe molecules for generating new strategies in immunotherapy. To this end, the relationship between Pru p 3 and Ole e 7 and Par j 1, LTPs and pollen allergens have been studied to determine whether they are involved in the `LTP syndrome¿. On the other
