Glycyrrhizin binds to high-mobility group box 1 protein and inhibits its cytokine activities.

TL;DR: Glycyrrhizin, a natural anti-inflammatory and antiviral triterpene in clinical use, inhibits HMGB1 chemoattractant and mitogenic activities, and has a weak inhibitory effect on its intranuclear DNA-binding function.

A novel role for HMGB1 in TLR9-mediated inflammatory responses to CpG-DNA Running title: Mechanism of TLR9 activation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identified HMGB1 as a CpG-ODN-binding protein, which interacts and pre-associates with TLR9 in the endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC), and hastens TLR 9's redistribution to early endosomes in response to CpGs-ODNs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Defective glucose metabolism in polycystic kidney disease identifies a new therapeutic strategy

TL;DR: Data indicate that defective glucose metabolism is intimately involved in the pathobiology of ADPKD, and provides a strong rationale for a new therapeutic strategy using existing drugs, either individually or in combination.
Journal ArticleDOI

Solution NMR of proteins within polyacrylamide gels: diffusional properties and residual alignment by mechanical stress or embedding of oriented purple membranes.

TL;DR: The diffusive properties of biomacromolecules within the aqueous phase of polyacrylamide gels are described and methods are applied to derive residual dipolar couplings for human HIV-1 Nef and ubiquitin.
