We have successfully delivered a reactive alkylating agent, chlorambucil (Cbl), to the mitochondria of mammalian cells. Here, we characterize the mechanism of cell death for mitochondria-targeted chlorambucil (mt-Cbl) in vitro and assess its efficacy

The clinical translation of cationic α-helical antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) has been hindered by structural instability, proteolytic degradation and in vivo toxicity from nonspecific membrane lysis. Although analyses of hydrophobic content and char

BAX is a pro-apoptotic protein that transforms from a cytosolic monomer into a toxic oligomer that permeabilizes the mitochondrial outer membrane. How BAX monomers assemble into a higher-order conformation, and the structural determinants essential t

Hydrocarbon-stapled peptides that display key residues of the p53 transactivation domain have emerged as bona fide clinical candidates for reactivating the tumor suppression function of p53 in cancer by dual targeting of the negative regulators HDM2

Summary MCL-1 is a BCL-2 family protein implicated in the development and chemoresistance of human cancer. Unlike its anti-apoptotic homologs, Mcl-1 deletion has profound physiologic consequences, indicative of a broader role in homeostasis. We repor

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a novel class of antibiotics comprised of short peptide sequences made up of 5 to 50 amino acids. Of particular interest are α-helical AMPs that kill bacteria through either membrane lysis or translocation and bindi

In this paper the possibility to use an RF antenna for both partial discharge (PD) detection and transformer oil quality monitoring is investigated. First, several RF antenna designs such as the dipole, axial helix and circular loop, have been compar

To create a new class of mitochondria-penetrating peptides (MPPs) that would facilitate drug delivery into the organelle through the inclusion of delocalized lipophilic cations (DLCs) in the peptide sequence.We synthesized two novel amino acids featu

SummaryThe difficulty of accessing the mitochondrial matrix has limited the targeting of therapeutics to this organelle. Here, we report, to our knowledge, the first successful delivery of an active DNA alkylating agent—chlorambucil—to mitochondr
