To control agonist-induced nuclear translocation of transcription factor κB (NF-κB) in intact
cells, cell-permeable synthetic peptides were devised. Their import into intact cells was
dependent on a hydrophobic region selected from the signal peptide sequences and was
verified by their inaccessibility to extracellular proteases and by confocal laser scanning
microscopy. When a cell-permeable peptide carried a functional cargo representing the
nuclear localization sequence of NF-κB p50, it inhibited in a concentration-dependent …
