Cellular Internalization of Quantum Dots Mediated by Cell-Penetrating Peptides
Nanomaterials have been utilized in biomedical applications for many years because of their unique properties such as quantum confinement, surface plasmon resonance, and superparamagnetism. These applications are expected to advance diagnosis and therapeutics. Fluorescent nanomaterials, such as quantum dots (QDs), were exalted in biological imaging and tracking, and trended to replace protein-b...
متن کاملTargeting the c-Myc coiled coil with interfering peptides.
c-Myc is one of the most frequently deregulated oncogenes in human cancers, and recent studies showed that even brief inactivation of Myc can be sufficient to induce tumor regression or loss. Consequently, inactivation of Myc provides a novel therapeutic opportunity and challenge, as the dimerization of Myc with Max is crucial for its function. We applied two strategies to specifically target t...
متن کاملRationally designed coiled-coil DNA looping peptides control DNA topology
Artificial DNA looping peptides were engineered to study the roles of protein and DNA flexibility in controlling the geometry and stability of protein-mediated DNA loops. These LZD (leucine zipper dual-binding) peptides were derived by fusing a second, C-terminal, DNA-binding region onto the GCN4 bZip peptide. Two variants with different coiled-coil lengths were designed to control the relative...
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 کاملCoiled-coil networking shapes cell molecular machinery
The highly abundant α-helical coiled-coil motif not only mediates crucial protein-protein interactions in the cell but is also an attractive scaffold in synthetic biology and material science and a potential target for disease intervention. Therefore a systematic understanding of the coiled-coil interactions (CCIs) at the organismal level would help unravel the full spectrum of the biological f...
