    Description: The toxicity of ionizing radiation is associated with massive apoptosis in radiosensitive organs. Here, we investigate whether a drug that activates a signaling mechanism used by tumor cells to suppress apoptosis can protect healthy cells from the harmful effects of radiation. We studied CBLB502, a polypeptide drug derived from Salmonella flagellin that binds to Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) and activates nuclear factor-kappaB signaling. A single injection of CBLB502 before lethal total-body irradiation protected mice from both gastrointestinal and hematopoietic acute radiation syndromes and resulted in improved survival. CBLB502 injected after irradiation also enhanced survival, but at lower radiation doses. It is noteworthy that the drug did not decrease tumor radiosensitivity in mouse models. CBLB502 also showed radioprotective activity in lethally irradiated rhesus monkeys. Thus, TLR5 agonists could potentially improve the therapeutic index of cancer radiotherapy and serve as biological protectants in radiation emergencies.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4322935/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4322935/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Burdelya, Lyudmila G -- Krivokrysenko, Vadim I -- Tallant, Thomas C -- Strom, Evguenia -- Gleiberman, Anatoly S -- Gupta, Damodar -- Kurnasov, Oleg V -- Fort, Farrel L -- Osterman, Andrei L -- Didonato, Joseph A -- Feinstein, Elena -- Gudkov, Andrei V -- AI066497/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- CA75179/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- CA84406/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA084406/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 CA084406-01A1/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2008 Apr 11;320(5873):226-30. doi: 10.1126/science.1154986.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Cell Stress Biology, Roswell Park Cancer Institute, Buffalo, NY 14263, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18403709" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) binding to bacterial flagellin activates signaling through the transcription factor NF-kappaB and triggers an innate immune response to the invading pathogen. To elucidate the structural basis and mechanistic implications of TLR5-flagellin recognition, we determined the crystal structure of zebrafish TLR5 (as a variable lymphocyte receptor hybrid protein) in complex with the D1/D2/D3 fragment of Salmonella flagellin, FliC, at 2.47 angstrom resolution. TLR5 interacts primarily with the three helices of the FliC D1 domain using its lateral side. Two TLR5-FliC 1:1 heterodimers assemble into a 2:2 tail-to-tail signaling complex that is stabilized by quaternary contacts of the FliC D1 domain with the convex surface of the opposing TLR5. The proposed signaling mechanism is supported by structure-guided mutagenesis and deletion analyses on CBLB502, a therapeutic protein derived from FliC.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3406927/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3406927/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Yoon, Sung-il -- Kurnasov, Oleg -- Natarajan, Venkatesh -- Hong, Minsun -- Gudkov, Andrei V -- Osterman, Andrei L -- Wilson, Ian A -- AI042266/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI042266/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI042266-05/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI080446/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI080446-05/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- RC2 AI087616/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- RC2 AI087616-02/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2012 Feb 17;335(6070):859-64. doi: 10.1126/science.1215584.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Molecular Biology, The Scripps Research Institute, La Jolla, CA 92037, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22344444" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
