Protein transduction therapy using poly-arginine can deliver the bioactive p53 protein into cancer cells and inhibits the proliferation of the cells. However, one disadvantage of such therapy is the short intracellular half-life of the delivered protein. Here, we generated mutant proteins in which multiple lysine residues in the C-terminal were substituted by arginines. The mutant proteins were effectively delivered in glioma cells and were resistant to Mdm2-mediated ubiquitination. Moreover, the mutant proteins displayed higher transcription regulatory activity and powerful inhibition of the proliferation of glioma cells. These results suggest that ubiquitination-resistant p53 protein therapy may become a new effective cancer therapy.
