This paper provides a facile method that expedites synthesis of biologically active cell-permeable peptides by site-specific ligation of two free peptide modules via a nonpeptide thiazolidino linkage.

This report expands application of noninvasive delivery of peptides based on the hydrophobic domains of signal peptides to recombinant fusion proteins that contain gluthione-S-transferase and the src homology 2 domain of the intracellular adaptor protein Grb2. Intracellular delivery of this fusion protein inhibited epidermal growth factor receptor mediated signaling.

This report describes use of the Herpes virus protein VP22 as a membrane-permeable vector for intercellular delivery of the proapoptotic p53 protein. The p53-VP22 fusion protein expressed in transfected cells was ferried to nontransfected tumor cells as a result of VP22 membrane-permeable properties. Apoptosis of tumor cells was induced as a result of this intercellular delivery of p53.

Torgerson TR, Colosia AD, Donahue JP, Lin Y-Z, Hawiger J Regulation of NF-κB, AP-1, NFAT, and STAT1 nuclear import in T lymphocytes by noninvasive delivery of peptide carrying the nuclear localization sequence of NF-κB p50. J Immunol. 161:1998;6084-6092. This paper demonstrates that the cell-permeable SN50 peptide carrying the nuclear localization sequence (NLS) of the NF-κB p50 inhibits inducible nuclear import of NF-κB and three other transcription factors involved in the cellular response to immunological and inflammatory stress. Inhibition of nuclear import of transcription factors was paralleled by saturable binding of the SN50 peptide to the cytoplasmic NLS-binding protein complex. Attenuation of gene expression regulated by the transcription factors that were blocked by the SN50 peptide was demonstrated.
