项目摘要

A basic peptide derived from the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1 Tat has been reported to have the ability to translocate through the cell membranes and to bring exogenous proteins into the cells. We have demonstrated that these features were observable among many arginine-rich peptides including those having a branched chain structure. Based on these findings, the presence of a ubiquitous internalization mechanism for the arginine-rich peptides has been suggested. We have also demonstrated that these features are also applicable to the peptides having branched-chain structures. Peptides that have arginine residues on four branched-chains (R_n)_4 [n (number of arginine residues) = 0〜6] were prepared. Fluorescence microscopic observation revealed that the (R_2)_4 peptide showed the most efficient translocation. Dependence on the number of arginine residues for the translocation efficiency and cellular localization was also observed for the branched-chain peptides as was seen in the linear peptides. We have shown that a non-covalent protein assembly of Rnase S bearing arginine-rich segment was successfully introduced into cells to exhibit an anti-HIV activity. Peptides corresponding to the phosphorylation and ubiquitilation sites of IκB, which is involved in the activation of transcription factor NF-κB, were prepared. Introduction of these peptides into cells by conjugation with the membrane-permeable arginine peptide resulted in the inhibition of NF-κB activation. However, significance of the difference in the extent of inhibition was observed. We have also shown that the transcription by transcription factor Sp1 was inhibited by the peptide derived from DNA recognition segment of Sp1.

据报道，源自人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）-1 Tat 的碱性肽能够穿过细胞膜并将外源蛋白带入细胞中，我们已经证明这些特征在许多富含精氨酸的细胞中是可以观察到的。基于这些发现，富含精氨酸的肽也存在普遍存在的内化机制。适用于具有支链结构的肽制备了在四个支链上具有精氨酸残基的肽(R_n)_4[n(精氨酸残基数)=0〜6] 荧光显微镜观察表明(R_2)_4。支链肽显示出最有效的易位，其易位效率和细胞定位对精氨酸残基数量的依赖性。我们已经证明，含有富含精氨酸的片段的 Rnase S 的非共价蛋白组装体被成功引入细胞中，从而表现出与 IκB 磷酸化和泛素化位点相对应的抗 HIV 活性。制备了参与转录因子 NF-κB 激活的肽，通过与膜渗透性精氨酸肽缀合将这些肽引入细胞中。然而，我们还观察到转录因子Sp1的转录受到源自Sp1的DNA识别片段的肽的抑制。
