We have developed a series of attenuated cationic amphiphilic lytic (ACAL) peptides that can efficiently bring immunoglobulin G (IgG) and other functional proteins into cells. Delivery is generally achieved through the coadministration of ACAL peptides with cargo proteins. However, conjugation of ACAL peptides with cargos may be a promising approach forin vivoapplication to linkin vivooutcomes of ACAL peptides and cargos. This study describes the creation of a new cell-permeable ACAL peptide, L17ER4. L17E is an optimized prototype of ACAL peptides previously developed in our laboratory for efficient delivery of IgGs into cells. Delivery was improved by functionalizing L17E with a tetra-arginine (R4) tag. Compared to the use of R8, a representative cell-penetrating peptide with high intracellular delivery efficacy, conjugation with L17ER4 afforded approximately four-fold higher cellular uptake of model small-molecule cargos (fluorescein isothiocyanate and HiBiT peptide). L17ER4 was also able to deliver proteins to cells. Fused with L17ER4, Cre recombinase was delivered into cells. Intracerebroventricular injection of Cre-L17ER4 into green red reporter mice, R26GRR, led to significantin vivogene recombination in ependymal cells, suggesting that L17ER4 may be used as a cell-penetrating peptide for delivering protein therapeutics into cellsin vivo.
