Cationic Cell-Penetrating Peptides Are Potent Furin Inhibitors
Cationic cell-penetrating peptides have been widely used to enhance the intracellular delivery of various types of cargoes, such as drugs and proteins. These reagents are chemically similar to the multi-basic peptides that are known to be potent proprotein convertase inhibitors. Here, we report that both HIV-1 TAT47-57 peptide and the Chariot reagent are micromolar inhibitors of furin activity ...
متن کاملCell Penetrating Peptides
During the last ten years it has been observed that a number of peptides and proteins are able to penetrate the cell membrane and enter the cell. Furthermore, it has been shown that even many cargo molecules that are covalently attached to these peptides will be translocated into the cell. Peptides that show the ability to translocate through the cell membrane are usually short peptides of less...
متن کاملCell-penetrating peptides and antimicrobial peptides: how different are they?
Some cationic peptides, referred to as CPPs (cell-penetrating peptides), have the ability to translocate across biological membranes in a non-disruptive way and to overcome the impermeable nature of the cell membrane. They have been successfully used for drug delivery into mammalian cells; however, there is no consensus about the mechanism of cellular uptake. Both endocytic and non-endocytic pa...
متن کاملArginine-rich cell-penetrating peptides.
Arginine-rich cell-penetrating peptides are short cationic peptides capable of traversing the plasma membranes of eukaryotic cells. While successful intracellular delivery of many biologically active macromolecules has been accomplished using these peptides, their mechanisms of cell entry are still under investigation. Recent dialogue has centered on a debate over the roles that direct transloc...
متن کاملCell penetrating and transytosing peptides: powerful strategies for oral insulin delivery
Insulin is essential for type 1 and advanced type 2 diabetes to maintain blood glucose levels and increase the patient’s longevity. Frequent subcutaneous insulin injections are usually associated with pain, local tissue necrosis, infection and nerve damage. Recently, a number of new delivery methods such as oral insulin delivery have been developed to overcome these limitations and increase pa...
