A Tat-related peptide, acetyl-Gly-Arg-Arg-Arg-Arg-Arg-Gln-Arg-Arg-Arg-Pro-Pro-Gln-Gly-Cys amide, designed to transport an Adenovirus vector (Ad) into cells, was synthesized. The synthetic peptide was conjugated to Ad, which potentially can act as an efficient carrier of heterologous genes into cells. The Tat-related peptide was synthesized using the solid phase method and then was coupled to the heterofunctional cross-linking reagent, 6-maleimidohexanoic acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester. The resulting peptide-succinimidohexanoic acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester was conjugated to Ad containing the luciferase gene. B16BL6 cells infected with the peptide-conjugated Ad luciferase gene construct exhibit a 50-fold greater luciferase activity than B16BL6 cells infected with wild-type Ad containing the luciferase gene.

Two cell-penetrating peptides, a Pro-rich peptide derivative, acetyl-(Val-Arg-Leu-Pro-Pro-Pro)(3)-Gly-Cys amide, and an octaarginine derivative, acetyl-Arg-Arg-Arg-Arg-Arg-Arg-Arg-Arg-Gly-Cys amide, were prepared by the solid phase method. Each peptide was coupled to the heterobifunctional cross-linking reagent, 6-maleimidohexanoic acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester, and then conjugated to the Adenovirus vector containing luciferase gene. Peptide-modified Ad, as compared with wild-type Ad, exhibited excellent luciferase activity in B16BL6 cells.
