QTY code has been successfully used to significantly improve the solubility of water-insoluble integral transmembrane proteins. They include G protein-coupled receptors, cytokine receptors, glucose transporters, and solute carrier transporters through systematically replacing the hydrophobic leucine (L), valine (V), isoleucine (I), and phenylalanine (F) in the transmembrane domains by glutamine (Q), threonine (T), and tyrosine (Y). Here we reverse the QTY code as the reverse-QTY (rQTY) code to improve the hydrophobicity of the specific alpha-helices on human serum albumin for self-assembly into well-defined nanoparticles. The rQTY code has significant implications for design of specific hydrophobic domain of highly water-soluble proteins to design their self-assembly for diverse applications including encapsulate hydrophobic drugs, receptor-mediated sustained drug release and target the drug transport across cell membrane. Human serum albumin (HSA) is a highly water-soluble protein with 67% alpha-helix content and three distinct domains (I, II, and III). HSA offers a great promise in drug delivery with enhanced permeability and retention effect. But it is hindered by protein denaturation during drug entrapment or conjugation that result in distinct cellular transport pathways and reduction of biological activities. Here we report using a protein design approach named reverse-QTY (rQTY) code to convert specific hydrophilic alpha-helices to hydrophobic to alpha-helices. The designed HSA undergo self-assembly of well-ordered nanoparticles with highly biological actives. The hydrophilic amino acids, asparagine (N), glutamine (Q), threonine (T), and tyrosine (Y) in the helical B-subdomains of HSA were systematically replaced by hydrophobic leucine (L), valine (V), and phenylalanine (F). HSArQTY nanoparticles exhibited efficient cellular internalization through the cell membrane albumin binding protein GP60, or SPARC (secreted protein, acidic and rich in cysteine)-mediated pathways. The designed HSArQTY variants displayed superior biological activities including: i) encapsulation of drug doxorubicin, ii) receptor-mediated cellular transport, iii) tumor cell targeting, and iv) antitumor efficiency compare to denatured HSA nanoparticles. HSArQTY nanoparticles provided superior tumor targeting and antitumor therapeutic effects compared to the albumin nanoparticles fabricated by antisolvent precipitation method. We believe that the rQTY code is a robust platform for specific hydrophobic modification of functional hydrophilic proteins with clear-defined binding interfaces.
