摘要

A basic peptide derived from HIV-1 Tat has been reported to have the ability to translocate through cell membranes and to bring exogenous proteins into cells. We have demonstrated that these features could be observed among many arginine-rich peptides, and the presence of a ubiuqitous internalization mechanism for arginine-rich oligopeptides has been suggested. In this report, we report that these features are also applicable to the peptides having branched-chain structures. Peptides that hae arginie 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 exhibited the most efficient translocation. The dependence on the number of arginine residues of the translocation efficiency and cellular localization was also observed for the branched-chain peptides as was seen in the linear peptides. Quite interestingly, efficient translocation was also recognized in the (RG_3R)_4 peptide, where three glycine residues intervened between two arginine residues on each chain of (R_2)_4. The results strongly suggested that a linear structure was not indispensable for the translocation of arginine-rich peptides and that there could be considerable flexibility in the location of the arginine residue in the molecules.
