A Systematic Nomenclature for the Redox States of High Mobility Group Box (HMGB) Proteins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) is a central mediator in inflammation and immunity. Recently, it was shown that different redox states of the three cysteines of HMGB1 endow it with mutually exclusive activities, such as inducing chemotaxis or the ...

HMGB2 Protein from the Marine Sponge Suberites domuncula

open access: yesFood Technology and Biotechnology, 2003
Investigation of the phylogenetically conserved genes/proteins from marine sponges (Porifera), the most primitive metazoan phylum, can be applied for the reconstruction of ancient structures of genome/proteom complexity in the ancestral organism common ...

Mass spectrometry based identification of AMP‐O‐Tris generated by Thermococcus onnurineus Cas10

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Isolated Thermococcus onnurineus Cas10 generates the noncanonical ATP‐derived product AMP‐O‐Tris while in Tris‐containing buffer as identified via mass spectrometry, revealing relaxed nucleophile selectivity under isolated conditions. These findings suggest that multiprotein Csm complex assembly restricts Cas10 reactivity toward canonical cyclic ...

The Role of Alarmins in the Pathogenesis of Atherosclerosis and Myocardial Infarction

open access: yesCurrent Issues in Molecular Biology
Atherosclerosis is a condition that is associated with lipid accumulation in the arterial intima. Consequently, the enlarging lesion, which is also known as an atherosclerotic plaque, may close the blood vessel lumen, thus leading to organ ischaemia ...

Identifying transcription factors controlling the basal expression of human MRP4 highlights a substantial role for Sp1

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The MRP4 transporter exports several drugs and signaling molecules. Here, we identified key promoter elements regulating basal MRP4 expression. Using reporter assays, we defined a conserved region with essential Sp1 and contributory Ets sites, which controlled basal MRP4 expression.

Role of advanced glycation end products in mobility and considerations in possible dietary and nutritional intervention strategies

open access: yesNutrition & Metabolism, 2018
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs), a group of compounds that are formed by non-enzymatic reactions between carbonyl groups of reducing sugars and free amino groups of proteins, lipids or nucleic acids, can be obtained exogenously from diet or formed

Molecular dynamics simulations of positively selected codons in FcγRI reveal novel biochemical binding properties

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Evolutionary analysis across 32 placental mammals identified positive selection at residues H148 and W149 in the immune receptor FcγR1. Ancestral reconstruction combined with molecular dynamics simulations reveals how these mutations may influence receptor structure and dynamics, providing insight into the evolution of antibody recognition and immune ...

A high mobility group protein from the dipteran insects Ceratitis capitata and Bactrocera oleae [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Nuclei from Bactrocera oleae and Ceratitis capitata larvae contain a major protein that shares most of the characteristics of vertebrate high mobility group (HMG) proteins. Proteins are extracted from nuclei with 0.35 M NaCl, are soluble in 5% perchloric
