Abstract:
A general strategy was developed for the intracellular delivery of linear peptidyl ligands through fusion to a cell‐penetrating peptide and cyclization of the fusion peptides via a disulfide bond. The resulting cyclic peptides are cell permeable and have improved proteolytic stability. Once inside the cell, the disulfide bond is reduced to produce linear biologically active peptides. This strategy was applied to generate a cell‐permeable peptide substrate for real‐time detection of intracellular caspase activities during apoptosis and an inhibitor for the CFTR‐associated ligand (CAL) PDZ domain as a potential treatment for cystic fibrosis.
