We examined the intrinsic cell permeability of a GAGA zinc finger obtained from theDrosophila melanogastertranscription factor and analyzed its mechanism of cellular uptake using confocal microscopy and flow cytometry. HeLa cells were treated with the Cy5-labeld GAGA peptides (containing a fluorescent chromophore) to detect fluorescence signals from the fluorescent labeling peptides by confocal microscopy. The results clearly indicated that GAGA peptides possess intrinsic cell permeability for HeLa cells. Based on the results of the flow cytometry analysis and the theoretical net positive charge of the GAGA peptides, the efficiency of cellular uptake of the GAGA peptides was predicted to depend on the net positive charge of the GAGA peptide as well as the cationic component ratio of Arg residues to Lys residues.
