Abstract

HMGB protein sentinelsThe chromosomal HMGB (high-mobility group box) proteins HMGB1, HMGB2 and HMGB3 are shown here to be essential for all nucleic-acid receptor-mediated activation of innate immune responses. HMGBs bound to all immunogenic nucleic acids tested — whether considered ligands for Toll-like receptors or for cytosolic receptors — suggesting that they may have a physiological role as universal sentinels for intracellular nucleic acids.
