Cytochrome (CytC) is conjugated with a small molecule TG6 to give TG6-CytC, which is directly delivered into cytosol, triggering the release of endogenous CytC from mitochondria, and inducing a caspase-3-dependent apoptosis with an IC down to 2.4 nM. This work shows an efficient strategy for intracellular protein delivery.
细胞色素 C (CytC) 与小分子 TG6 缀合得到 TG6-CytC,它可直接递送至细胞质,从线粒体中引发内源性 CytC 的释放,并诱导依赖半胱天冬酶-3 的细胞凋亡,IC 低至 2.4 nM。这项工作展示了一种有效的细胞内蛋白质递呈策略。
