While peptides are promising as probes and therapeutics, targeting intracellular proteins will require greater understanding of highly structured, cell-internalized scaffolds. We recently reportedBC1, an 11-residue bicyclic peptide that inhibits the Src homology 2 (SH2) domain of growth factor receptor-bound protein 2 (Grb2). In this work, we describe the unique structural and cell uptake properties ofBC1and similar cyclic and bicyclic scaffolds. These constrained scaffolds are taken up by mammalian cells despite their net neutral or negative charges, while unconstrained analogs are not. The mechanism of uptake is shown to be energy-dependent and endocytic, but distinct from that of Tat. The solution structure ofBC1was investigated by NMR and MD simulations, which revealed discrete water-binding sites onBC1that reduce exposure of backbone amides to bulk water. This represents an original and potentially general strategy for promoting cell uptake.
