Helical Poly(arginine) Mimics with Superior Cell-Penetrating and Molecular Transporting Properties.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Poly(arginine) mimics bearing long hydrophobic side chains adopt stable helical conformation and exhibit helix-related cell-penetrating properties. Elongating polypeptide backbone length and increasing side chain hydrophobicity further increase the helicities of poly(arginine) mimics. They show superior cell membrane permeability up to two orders of magnitude higher than that of HIV-TAT peptide and excellent DNA and siRNA delivery efficiencies in various mammalian cells.

COPA and SLC4A4 are Required for Cellular Entry of Arginine-Rich Peptides
Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) have gained attention as promising tools to enable the delivery of various molecules in a non-invasive manner. Among the CPPs, TAT and poly-arginine have been extensively utilized in numerous studies for the delivery of functional proteins, peptides, and macromolecules to analyze cellular signaling. However, the molecular mechanisms of cellular entry remain larg...

BACKGROUND Protein transduction is safer than viral vector-mediated transduction for the delivery of a therapeutic protein into a cell. Fusion proteins with an arginine-rich cell-penetrating peptide have been produced in E. coli, but the low solubility of the fusion protein expressed in E. coli impedes the large-scale production of fusion proteins from E. coli. RESULTS Expressed protein ligat...
