Abstract
Subject headings
Close
- The N-terminal (1-28) part of the mouse prion protein (PrP) is a cell penetrating peptide, capable of transporting large hydrophilic cargoes through a cell membrane. Confocal fluorescence microscopy shows that it transports the protein avidin (67 kDa) into several cell lines. The (1-28) peptide has a strong tendency for aggregation and P-structure formation, particularly in interaction with negatively charged phospholipid membranes. The findings have implications for how prion proteins with uncleaved signal peptides in the N-termini may enter into cells, which is important for infection. The secondary structure conversion into beta-structure may be relevant as a seed for the conversion into the scrapie (PrPSc) form of the protein and its arnyloidic transformation.
