 The affinity (Kd) of minocycline for the bacteria's 30S ribosome is not as high as one might otherwise expect based on its action. For this reason, it seems likely that minocycline may affect immune function in other ways. One possibility is the Pregnane X Nuclear Receptor (PXR). The affinity (Kd) of minocycline for the bacteria's 30S ribosome is not as high as one might otherwise expect based on its action.

-A recent paper has suggested that various tetracycline antibiotics including clindamycin activate the PXR.(({{pubmed>long:18505790}})) Whether that conclusion is confirmed by further research remains to be seen.+A recent paper has suggested that various tetracycline antibiotics including clindamycin activate the PXR.(({{pmid>long:18505790}})) Whether that conclusion is confirmed by further research remains to be seen.
  
 The conclusion of that paper is somewhat at odds with the //in silico// model produced by Trevor Marshall, PhD, from which he has concluded that of the tetracyclines, minocycline is the only one that activates the PXR.  The conclusion of that paper is somewhat at odds with the //in silico// model produced by Trevor Marshall, PhD, from which he has concluded that of the tetracyclines, minocycline is the only one that activates the PXR.

-Caspase-3 is a protease, which breaks apart the VDR receptor structure and thus limits the ability of VDR to do gene transcription. Minocycline is known to inhibit Caspase-3 activation.(({{pubmed>long:15990464}}))(({{pubmed>long:16638021}}))+Caspase-3 is a protease, which breaks apart the VDR receptor structure and thus limits the ability of VDR to do gene transcription.
