A mitochondrial targeted fusion peptide exhibits remarkable cytotoxicity.
A potent cytotoxic peptide (r7-kla) was synthesized by incorporating a mitochondrial membrane disrupting peptide, kla (klaklakklaklak), with a cell-penetrating domain, r7 (rrrrrrr). The IC(50) of r7-kla (3.54 +/- 0.11 micromol/L) was more than two orders of magnitude lower than that of kla. r7-kla induced cell death in both in vitro and in vivo environments, and showed rapid kinetics. Within mi...
متن کاملMitochondrial targeted antioxidant Peptide ameliorates hypertensive cardiomyopathy.
OBJECTIVES We investigated the effect of reducing mitochondrial oxidative stress by the mitochondrial-targeted antioxidant peptide SS-31 in hypertensive cardiomyopathy. BACKGROUND Oxidative stress has been implicated in hypertensive cardiovascular diseases. Mitochondria and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase have been proposed as primary sites of reactive oxygen speci...
متن کاملPhotorhabdus luminescens PirAB-fusion protein exhibits both cytotoxicity and insecticidal activity.
The binary toxin 'Photorhabdus insect-related' proteins (PirAB) produced by Photorhabdus luminescens have been reported to possess both injectable and oral activities against a range of insects. Here, PirAB-fusion protein was constructed by linking pirA and pirB genes with the flexible linker (Gly4 Ser)3 DNA encoding sequence and then efficiently expressed in Escherichia coli. To better underst...
متن کاملEffect of a Fusion Peptide by Covalent Conjugation of a Mitochondrial Cell-Penetrating Peptide and a Glutathione Analog Peptide
Previously, we designed and synthesized a library of mitochondrial antioxidative cell-penetrating peptides (mtCPPs) superior to the parent peptide, SS31, to protect mitochondria from oxidative damage. A library of antioxidative glutathione analogs called glutathione peptides (UPFs), exceptional in hydroxyl radical elimination compared with glutathione, were also designed and synthesized. Here, ...
متن کاملHuman Mitochondrial Transcription Termination Exhibits
Human mitochondrial 16 S rRNA 3'-end formation requires a tridecamer template sequence and a trans-acting protein of -34 kDa. This protein binds tightly to its target sequence and further analysis of the protein-DNA complex revealed that the DNA is bent. Either T3, T7, Escherichia coli, or yeast mitochondrial RNA polymerase produced transcripts mapping at this termination site. With these heter...
