A number of cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) have been reported, but their transduction efficiencies are too low to be used as intracellular carriers for therapeutic purposes. We conducted a comprehensive search to find novel CPPs using an in vitro virus (IVV) library, which presented random peptides consisting of 15 amino acids (diversity of the library was >10(12)). We found 9 kinds of novel CPPs with an intracellular translocation efficiency higher than that of the TAT peptide (YGRKKKRRQRRR). Interestingly, one of the novel CPPs, No. 14 (KLWMRWYSPTTRRYG), showed a dramatic improvement in translocation activity relative to the TAT peptide in CHO cells (>10-fold efficiency in 50 mu M). As the intracellular translocation efficiency of No. 14 was increased by substitution Arg for Lys(1) (14-1), we carried out alanine scanning on the basis of 14-1 to determine important amino acids for the intracellular translocation. The Ala substitution analysis showed that both Arg and Trp residues were important for the cell-penetrating activity and that their contribution was in the order Trp(3)
