HOPS-dependent endosomal fusion required for efficient cytosolic delivery of therapeutic peptides and small proteins [Biochemistry]

Protein therapeutics represent a significant and growing component of the modern pharmacopeia, but their potential to treat human disease is limited because most proteins fail to traffic across biological membranes. Recently, we discovered a class of cell-permeant miniature proteins (CPMPs) containing a precisely defined, penta-arginine (penta-Arg) motif that traffics readily...
