MTD + botulinum light-chain concept
Methionyl r-Clostridium Botulinum Polypeptide-1 Hexapeptide-40
a recombinant protein combining an MTD (Macro-molecule Transmission Domain) with an active botulinum toxin light-chain component.
vector pET21b, an MTD insert of approximately 20 amino acids, a Clostridium botulinum neurotoxin type A light chain of 447 amino acids, sequence from Clostridium botulinum type A Hall Lc, and a hexa-histidine tag.
a molecular weight of 50 kDa for BLOOM/BPMed_BoLCA protein, compared with 150 kDa for pure toxin and 900 kDa for toxin complex.
- MTD is presented as the skin and target-cell penetration component.
- two actions: improved penetration into the stratum corneum/other skin layers, followed by delivery of the protein to specific targets.
- MTD intracellular delivery showed high permeability with less cell damage than nano-liposome or common peptide/PTD ingredients.
