Rational design and engineering of membrane active peptides remains a largely unsatisfied goal. We have hypothesized that this us due, in part, to the fact that some membrane activities, such as permeabilization, are not dependent on specific amino acid sequences or specific three-dimensional peptide structures. Instead they depend on interfacial activity; the ability of a molecule to partition into in the membrane-water interface and to alter the packing and organization of lipids. Here we test that idea by taking a non-classical approach to biomolecular engineering and design of membrane-active peptides. A 16,384 member rational combinatorial peptide library, containing peptides 9-15 amino acids in length, was screened for soluble members that permeabilize phospholipid membranes. A stringent, two-phase, high-throughput screen was used to identify 10 unique peptides that had potent membrane permeabilizing activity, but were also water soluble. These rare and uniquely active peptides did not share any particular sequence motif, peptide length or net charge, but instead share common compositional features, secondary structure and core hydrophobicity. We show that they function by a common mechanism that depends mostly on interfacial activity, and leads to transient pore formation. We demonstrate here that composition-space peptide libraries coupled with function-based high-throughput screens can lead to the discovery of diverse, soluble, and highly potent membrane permeabilizing peptides.
