Abstract
Supplemental data for this article can be accessed here.High mobility group box-1 (HMGb1), an endogenous danger-associated molecular pattern protein (DAMP) whose extracellular release has been associated with sterile injury and various inflammatory diseases and conditions, has been shown to be a valuable clinical drug target. Elucidation of the specific interactions with the HMGb1 receptor, Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and adaptor protein myeloid differentiation factor-2 (MD-2), will lead to more precisely targeted therapeutics. We sought to examine detailed interactions and dynamics of the HMGb1 A-box and B-box fragments, as well as the intact protein using in silico protein-protein docking (ZDOCK, ZRANK) and molecular dynamics (Schrödinger Desmond, New York, NY). Mutagenesis and SPR-binding studies allowed us to draw further conclusions regarding the details of the HMGb1-TLR4-MD2 interaction and shed light on the reasons for the opposing biological activities of HMGb1 A-box and B-box fragments. From our findings, we hypothesize that disulfide A-box fragment binds as an anchor toward the TLR4-MD-2 but does not facilitate the TLR4 dimer formation, thereby competing with the HMGb1-binding site and preventing HMGb1-induced signali...Continue Reading
