Description
Trojan peptides are short sequences that penetrate through the plasma membrane inside the cell without the need of any receptor or endocitosis process [Derossi 1998]. They can be used to increase the efficiency with which a protein enters a cell.
This part is Polyarginine, and has to be used just before the coding sequence of the peptide that you want to be import enhanced.
(refer to Characterisation of cell-penetrating peptide-mediated peptide delivery [Jones et al 2005] for more information about polyarginine)
Notes
Sequence obtained by retro-translation. Codon and mRNA-secondary structure optimized for yeast.
