Using a high throughput screen, we have identified a family of 12-residue long
peptides that spontaneously translocate across membranes. These peptides function
by a poorly understood mechanism that is very different from that of the
well-known, highly cationic cell penetrating peptides such as the tat peptide
from HIV. The newly discovered translocating peptides can carry polar cargoes
across synthetic bilayers and across cellular membranes quickly and spontaneously
without disrupting the membrane. Here we report on the biophysical
characterization of a representative translocating peptide from the selected
family, TP2, as well as a negative control peptide, ONEG, from the same library.
We measured the binding of the two peptides to lipid bilayers, their secondary
structure propensities, their dispositions in bilayers by neutron diffraction,
and the response of the bilayer to the peptides. Compared to the negative
control, TP2 has a greater propensity for membrane partitioning, although it
still binds only weakly, and a higher propensity for secondary structure. Perhaps
most revealing, TP2 has the ability to penetrate deep into the bilayer without
causing significant bilayer perturbations, a property that may help explain its
ability to translocate without bilayer permeabilization.
