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 transcription of
cytokines and chemokines, via the interaction with different receptors. The different HMGB1
redox forms can be identified by mass spectrometry in body fluids of patients and may hold
promise as biomarkers. We propose here a systematic nomenclature of the different redox …

Abstract
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 transcription of cytokines and chemokines, via the interaction with different receptors. The different HMGB1 redox forms can be identified by mass spectrometry in body fluids of patients and may hold promise as biomarkers. We propose here a systematic nomenclature of the different redox forms of HMGB1 and related proteins, to replace the conflicting names used so far by different laboratories.
