Abstract
Engrailed2 (En2) is a transcription factor that transfers from cell to cell through unconventional pathways. The poorly understood internalization mechanism of this cationic protein is proposed to require an initial interaction with cell-surface glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). To decipher the role of GAGs in En2 internalization, we have quantified the entry of its homeodomain region in model cells that differ in their content in cell-surface GAGs. The binding specificity to GAGs and the influence of this interaction on the structure and dynamics of En2 was also investigated at the amino acid level. Our results show that a high-affinity GAG-binding sequence (RKPKKKNPNKEDKRPR), upstream of the homeodomain, controls En2 internalization through selective interactions with highly-sulfated heparan sulfate GAGs. Our data underline the functional importance of the intrinsically disordered basic region upstream of En2 internalization domain, and demonstrate the critical role of GAGs as an entry gate, finely tuning homeoprotein capacity to internalize into cells.

Abstract
The endosomal entrapment of functional nanoparticles is a severe limitation to their use for biomedical applications. In the case of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), this entrapment leads to poor heating efficiency for magnetic hyperthermia and suppresses the possibility to manipulate them in the cytosol. Current strategies to limit their entrapment include functionalization with cell-penetrating peptides to promote translocation directly across the cell membrane or facilitate endosomal escape. However, these strategies suffer from the potential release of free peptides in the cell, and to the best of our knowledge, there is currently a lack of effective methods for the cytosolic delivery of MNPs after incubation with cells. Herein, we report the conjugation of fluorescently labeled cationic peptides to γ-Fe2O3@SiO2 core-shell nanoparticles by click chemistry to improve MNP access to the cytosol. We compare the effect of Arg9 and His4 peptides. On the one hand, Arg9 is a classical cell-penetrating peptide able to enter cells by direct translocation, and on the other hand, it has been demonstrated that sequences rich in histidine residues can promote endosomal escape, possibly by the proton sponge effect. The methodology developed here allows a high colocalization of the peptides and core-shell nanoparticles in cells and confirms that grafting peptides rich in histidine residues onto nanoparticles promotes NPs' access to the cytosol. Endosomal escape was confirmed by a calcein leakage assay and by ultrastructural analysis in transmission electron microscopy. No toxicity was observed for the peptide-nanoparticles conjugates. We also show that our conjugation strategy is compatible with the addition of multiple substrates and can thus be used for the delivery of cytoplasm-targeted therapeutics.

Abstract
Identification of histone lysine methyltransferase (HKMT) substrates has recently benefited from chemical-biology-based strategies in which artificial S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) cofactors are engineered to allow substrate labeling using either the wild-type target enzyme or designed mutants. Once labeled, substrates can be selectively functionalized with an affinity tag, using a bioorthogonal ligation reaction, to allow their recovery from cell extracts and subsequent identification. In this chapter, we describe steps on how to proceed to set up such an approach to characterize substrates of specific HKMTs of the SET domain superfamily, from the characterization of the HKMT able to accommodate a SAM surrogate containing a bioorthogonal moiety, to the proteomic analysis conducted on a cell extract. We focus in particular on the controls that are necessary to ensure reliable proteomic data analysis. The example of PR-Set7 on which we have implemented this approach is shown.

Abstract
Living organisms have to maintain a stable balance in molecules and ions in the changing environment in which they are living, a process known as homeostasis. At the level of cells, the plasma membrane has a major role in homeostasis, since this hydrophobic film prevents passive diffusion of large and hydrophilic molecules between the extracellular and intracellular milieu. Living organisms have evolved with highly sophisticated transport systems to control exchanges across this barrier: import of nutrients and fuel essential for their survival; recognition of chemical or physical messengers allowing information interchanges with surrounding cells. Besides specialized proteins, endocytosis mechanisms at the level of the lipid bilayer can transport molecules from the outside across the cell membrane, in an energy-dependent manner. The cell membrane is highly heterogeneous in its molecular composition (tens of different lipids, proteins, polysaccharides, and combinations of these) and dynamic with bending, deformation, and elastic properties that depend on the local composition of membrane domains. Many viruses, microorganisms, and toxins exploit the plasma membrane to enter into cells. Chemists develop strategies to target the plasma membrane with molecules capable of circumventing this hydrophobic barrier, in particular to transport and deliver nonpermeable drugs in cells for biotechnological or pharmaceutical purposes. Drug delivery systems are numerous and include lipid-, sugar-, protein-, and peptide-based delivery systems, since these biomolecules generally have good biocompatibility, biodegradability, environmental sustainability, cost effectiveness, and availability. Among those, cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs), reported for the first time in the early 1990s, are attracting major interest not only as potential drug delivery systems but also at the level of fundamental research. It was indeed demonstrated very early that these peptides, which generally correspond to highly cationic sequences, can still cross the cell membrane at 4 °C, a temperature at which all active transport and endocytosis pathways are totally inhibited. Therefore, how these charged hydrophilic peptides cross the hydrophobic membrane barrier is of utmost interest as a pure basic and physicochemical question. In this Account, we focus on cationic cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) and the way they cross cell membranes. We summarize the history of this field that emerged around 20 years ago. CPPs were indeed first identified as protein-transduction domains from the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) TAT protein and the Antennapedia homeoprotein, a transcription factor from Drosophila. We highlight our contribution to the elucidation of CPP internalization pathways, in particular translocation, which implies perturbation and reorganization of the lipid bilayer, and endocytosis depending on sulfated glycosaminoglycans. We show a particular role of Trp (indole side chain) and Arg (guanidinium side chain), which are essential amino acids for CPP internalization. Interactions with the cell-surface are not only Coulombic; H-bonds and hydrophobic interactions contribute also significantly to CPP entry. The capacity of CPPs to cross cell membrane is not related to their strength of membrane binding. Finally, we present optimized methods based on mass spectrometry and fluorescence spectroscopy that allow unequivocal quantification of CPPs inside cells or bound to the outer leaflet of the membrane, and discuss some limitations of the technique of flow cytometry that we have recently highlighted.

Abstract
Most eukaryotic RNA regulators recognise their RNA and protein partners by the combinatorial use of several RNA binding domains. Inter-domain dynamics and interactions play a key role in recognition and can be analysed by techniques such as NMR or FRET, provided that the information relative to the individual interactions can be de-convoluted. Segmentally labelling the proteins by ligating labelled and unlabelled peptide chains allows one to filter out unwanted information and observe the labelled moieties only. Several strategies have been implemented to ligate two protein fragments, but multiple ligations, which are necessary to segmentally label proteins of more than two domains, are more challenging and often dependent on the structure and solubility of the domains. Here we report a method to ligate multiple protein segments that allows the fast, high yield labelling of both internal and end domains, depending on the requirements. We use TCEP and mercaptophenylacetic acid (MPAA) in an optimised reaction environment to achieve an efficient ligation of protein domains independently from their structure or solubility. We expect the method will provide a useful tool for the molecular study of combinatorial protein–RNA recognition in RNA regulation.

Abstract
Histone lysine methylation is associated with essential biological functions like transcription activation or repression, depending on the position and the degree of methylation. This post-translational modification is introduced by protein lysine methyltransferases (KMTs) which catalyze the transfer of one to three methyl groups from the methyl donor S-adenosyl-L-methionine (AdoMet) to the amino group on the side chain of lysines. The regulation of protein lysine methylation plays a primary role not only in the basic functioning of normal cells but also in various pathologies and KMT deregulation is associated with diseases including cancer. These enzymes are therefore attractive targets for the development of new antitumor agents, and there is still a need for direct methodology to screen, identify, and characterize KMT inhibitors. We report here a simple and robust in vitro assay to quantify the enzymatic methylation of KMT by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Following this protocol, we can monitor the methylation events over time on a peptide substrate. We detect in the same spectrum the modified and unmodified substrates, and the ratios of both signals are used to quantify the amount of methylated substrate. We first demonstrated the validity of the assay by determining inhibition parameters of two known inhibitors of the KMT SET7/9 ((R)-PFI-2 and sinefungin). Next, based on structural comparison with these inhibitors, we selected 42 compounds from a chemical library. We applied the MALDI-TOF assay to screen their activity as inhibitors of the KMT SET7/9. This study allowed us to determine inhibition constants as well as kinetic parameters of a series of SET7/9 inhibitors and to initiate a structure activity discussion with this family of compounds. This assay is versatile and can be easily adapted to other KMT substrates and enzymes as well as automatized.

Abstract
We have developed a convenient method for the direct synthesis of peptide thioesters, versatile intermediates for peptide ligation and cyclic peptide synthesis. The technology uses a modified Boc SPPS strategy that avoids the use of anhydrous HF. Boc in situ neutralization protocols are used in combination with Merrifield hydroxymethyl resin and TFA/TMSBr cleavage. Avoiding HF extends the scope of Boc SPPS to post-translational modifications that are compatible with the milder cleavage conditions, demonstrated here with the synthesis of the phosphorylated protein CHK2. Peptide thioesters give easy, direct, access to cyclic peptides, illustrated by the synthesis of cyclorasin, a KRAS inhibitor.

Abstract
The recurring issue with cell penetrating peptides is how to increase direct translocation vs. endocytosis, to avoid premature degradation. Acylation by a cis unsaturated chain (C22:6) of a short cationic peptide provides a new rational design to favour diffuse cytosolic and dense Golgi localisations.

Abstract
A backbone amide bond protecting group, 2‐hydroxy‐4‐methoxy‐5‐nitrobenzyl (Hmnb), improved the synthesis of aggregation and aspartimide‐prone peptides. Introduction of Hmnb is automated and carried out during peptide assembly by addition of 4‐methoxy‐5‐nitrosalicylaldehyde to the peptidyl‐resin and on‐resin reduction to the secondary amine. Acylation of the hindered secondary amine is aided by the formation of an internal nitrophenol ester that undergoes a favourable O,N intramolecular acyl transfer. This activated ester participates in the coupling and generally gives complete reaction with standard coupling conditions. Hmnb is easily available in a single preparative step from commercially available material. Different methods for removing the amide protecting group were explored. The protecting group is labile to acidolysis, following reduction of the nitro group to the aniline. The two main uses of backbone protection of preventing aspartimide formation and of overcoming difficult sequences are demonstrated, first with the synthesis of a challenging aspartimide‐prone test sequence and then with the classic difficult sequence ACP (65‐74) and a 23‐mer homopolymer of polyalanine.

Abstract
Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) is the most popular technique for mapping the subcellular distribution of a fluorescent molecule and is widely used to investigate the penetration properties of exogenous macromolecules, such as cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs), within cells. Despite the membrane-association propensity of all these CPPs, the signal of the fluorescently labeled CPPs did not colocalize with the plasma membrane. We studied the origin of this fluorescence extinction and the overall consequence on the interpretation of intracellular localizations from CLSM pictures. We demonstrated that this discrepancy originated from fluorescence self-quenching. The fluorescence was unveiled by a “dilution” protocol, i.e. by varying the ratio fluorescent/non-fluorescent CPP. This strategy allowed us to rank with confidence the subcellular distribution of several CPPs, contributing to the elucidation of the penetration mechanism. More generally, this study proposes a broadly applicable and reliable method to study the subcellular distribution of any fluorescently labeled molecules.

Abstract
Polycomb Group (PcG) proteins maintain transcriptional repression throughout development, mostly by regulating chromatin structure. Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2), a component of the Polycomb machinery, is responsible for the methylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me2/3). Jarid2 was previously identified as a cofactor of PRC2, regulating PRC2 targeting to chromatin and its enzymatic activity. Deletion of Jarid2 leads to impaired orchestration of gene expression during cell lineage commitment. Here, we reveal an unexpected crosstalk between Jarid2 and PRC2, with Jarid2 being methylated by PRC2. This modification is recognized by the Eed core component of PRC2 and triggers an allosteric activation of PRC2’s enzymatic activity. We show that Jarid2 methylation is important to promote PRC2 activity at a locus devoid of H3K27me3 and for the correct deposition of this mark during cell differentiation. Our results uncover a regulation loop where Jarid2 methylation fine-tunes PRC2 activity depending on the chromatin context. PRC2 methylates Jarid2 on K116 Jarid2 methylation promotes PRC2 activity H3K27me3 and Jarid2-K116me3 bind to the aromatic cage of Eed Jarid2 methylation regulates H3K27me3 deposition during ESC differentiation

Abstract
Peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) are very attractive antisense and antigene agents, but these molecules are not passively taken into cells. Here, using a functional cell assay and fluorescent-based methods, we investigated cell uptake and antisense activity of a tridecamer PNA that targets the HIV-1 polypurine tract sequence delivered using the arginine-rich (R/W)9 peptide (RRWWRRWRR). At micromolar concentrations, without use of any transfection agents, almost 80% inhibition of the target gene expression was obtained with the conjugate in the presence of the endosomolytic agent chloroquine. We show that chloroquine not only induced escape from endosomes but also enhanced the cellular uptake of the conjugate. Mechanistic studies revealed that (R/W)9-PNA conjugates were internalized via pinocytosis. Replacement of arginines with lysines reduced the uptake of the conjugate by six-fold, resulting in the abolition of intracellular target inhibition. Our results show that the arginines play a crucial role in the conjugate uptake and antisense activity. To determine whether specificity of the interactions of arginines with cell surface proteoglycans result in the internalization, we used flow cytometry to examine uptake of arginine- and lysine-rich conjugates in wild-type CHO-K1 and proteoglycan-deficient A745 cells. The uptake of both conjugates was decreased by four fold in CHO-745 cells; therefore proteoglycans promote internalization of cationic peptides, irrespective of the chemical nature of their positive charges. Our results show that arginine-rich cell-penetrating peptides, especially (R/W)9, are a promising tool for PNA internalization.

Abstract
Since the initial evidence that antennapedia homeobox can cross cell membranes and internalize into cells, numerous peptides with similar translocation properties have been described. These peptides are referred to as cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) or protein-transduction domains (PTDs). Reviews on reported CPP sequences have been recently published, together with reviews on their mechanisms of internalization. In this review, we will focus on natural homeoproteins and homeoprotein-derived peptides and describe results that have been obtained among different laboratories to unravel the different pathways by which these molecules reach the cell cytosol and nucleus or transfer from one cell to another. Using homeoproteins as a paradigm, we will also summarize recent evidences of the physiological functions of endogenous protein translocation.

Abstract
Protein-ligand complex neocarzinostatin (NCS) is a small, thermostable protein-ligand complex that is able to deliver its ligand cargo into live mammalian cells where it induces DNA damage. Apo-NCS is able to functionally display complementarity determining regions loops, and has been hypothesised to act as a cell-penetrating protein, which would make it an ideal scaffold for cell targeting, and subsequent intracellular delivery of small-molecule drugs. In order to evaluate apo-NCS as a cell penetrating protein, we have evaluated the efficiency of its internalisation into live HeLa cells using matrix-assisted laser-desorption ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry and fluorescence microscopy. Following incubation of cells with apo-NCS, we observed no evidence of internalisation.

Abstract
Recently, we identified a peptide (ERα17p, P(295)LMIKRSKKNSLALSLT(311)) that corresponds to the 295-311 sequence of the estrogen receptor α (ERα, hinge region) and which exerts a panel of pharmacological effects in breast cancer cells. Remarkably, these effects can result from the interaction of ERα17p with the plasma membrane. Herein, we show that ERα17p adopts a β-sheet secondary structure when in contact with anionic phospholipids and that it is engulfed within the lipid bilayer. While ERα17p increases the fluidity of membrane mimics, it weakly internalizes in living cells. In light of the above, one may evoke one important role of the 295-311 region of the ERα: the corresponding peptide could be secreted/delivered to the extracellular medium to interact with neighboring cells, both intracellularly and at the membrane level. Finally, the 295-311 region of ERα being in proximity to the cystein-447, the palmitoylation site of the ERα raises the question of its involvement in the interaction/stabilization of the protein with the membrane.

Abstract
This review summarizes the contribution of MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry in the study of cell-penetrating peptide (CPP) internalization in eukaryote cells. This technique was used to measure the efficiency of cell-penetrating peptide cellular uptake and cargo delivery and to analyze carrier and cargo intracellular degradation. The impact of thiol-containing membrane proteins on the internalization of CPP-cargo disulfide conjugates was also evaluated by combining MALDI-TOF MS with simple thiol-specific reactions. This highlighted the formation of cross-linked species to cell-surface proteins that either remained trapped in the cell membrane or led to intracellular delivery. MALDI-TOF MS is thus a powerful tool to dissect CPP internalization mechanisms.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs), which are usually short basic peptides, are able to cross cell membranes and convey bioactive cargoes inside cells. CPPs have been widely used to deliver inside cells peptides, proteins, and oligonucleotides; however, their entry mechanisms still remain controversial. A major problem concerning CPPs remains their lack of selectivity to target a specific type of cell and/or an intracellular component. We have previously shown that myristoylation of one of these CPPs affected the intracellular distribution of the cargo. We report here on the synthesis of glycosylated analogs of the cell-penetrating peptide (R6/W3): Ac-RRWWRRWRR-NH(2). One, two, or three galactose(s), with or without a spacer, were introduced into the sequence of this nonapeptide via a triazole link, the Huisgen reaction being achieved on a solid support. Four of these glycosylated CPPs were coupled via a disulfide bridge to the proapoptotic KLAK peptide, (KLAKLAKKLAKLAK), which alone does not enter into cells. The effect on cell viability and the uptake efficiency of different glycosylated conjugates were studied on CHO cells and were compared to those of the nonglycosylated conjugates: (R6/W3)S-S-KLAK and penetratinS-S-KLAK. We show that glycosylation significantly increases the cell viability of CHO cells compared to the nonglycosylated conjugates and concomitantly decreases the internalization of the KLAK cargo. These results suggest that glycosylation of CPP may be a key point in targeting specific cells.

Abstract
Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) share the property of cellular internalization. The question of how these peptides reach the cytoplasm of cells is still widely debated. Herein, we have used a mass spectrometry-based method that enables quantification of internalized and membrane-bound peptides. Internalization of the most used CPP was studied at 37 degrees C (endocytosis and translocation) and 4 degrees C (translocation) in wild type and proteoglycan-deficient Chinese hamster ovary cells. Both translocation and endocytosis are internalization pathways used by CPP. The choice of one pathway versus the other depends on the peptide sequence (not the number of positive changes), the extracellular peptide concentration, and the membrane components. There is no relationship between the high affinity of these peptides for the cell membrane and their internalization efficacy. Translocation occurs at low extracellular peptide concentration, whereas endocytosis, a saturable and cooperative phenomenon, is activated at higher concentrations. Translocation operates in a narrow time window, which implies a specific lipid/peptide co-import in cells.

Abstract
Heparin affin regulatory peptide (HARP) is an 18 kDa heparin-binding protein that plays a key role in tumor growth. We showed previously that the synthetic peptide P(111-136) composed of the last 26 HARP amino acids inhibited HARP-induced mitogenesis. Here, to identify the exact molecular domain involved in HARP inhibition, we investigated the effect of the shorter basic peptide P(122-131) on DU145 cells, which express HARP and its receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase beta/zeta (RPTPbeta/zeta). P(122-131) was not cytotoxic; it dose-dependently inhibited anchorage-independent growth of DU145 cells. Binding studies using biotinylated P(122-131) indicated that this peptide interfered with HARP binding to DU145 cells. Investigation of the mechanisms involved suggested interference, under anchorage-independent conditions, of P(122-131) with a HARP autocrine loop in an RPTPbeta/zeta-dependent fashion. Thus, P(122-131) may hold potential for the treatment of disorders involving RPTPbeta/zeta.

Abstract
This protocol allows the accurate quantification of cell-penetrating peptide (CPP) cellular uptake by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). Quantification is based on the use of an internal standard with same chemical structure as the analyte but labeled with a stable isotope. The analyte and the standard can both be obtained by standard solid-phase peptide synthesis using commercially available amino acids. They are functionalized by biotin to allow their easy purification before MALDI-TOF MS analysis. The method allows determination of the amount of intact internalized peptide and the identification of potential intracellular digests. It can be used to simultaneously compare the uptake of several peptides, and can also be applied to the quantification of peptidic cargoes and the study of their intracellular stability. It is therefore a potent tool to study the mechanisms of CPPs internalization and to select new carriers for drug delivery. This protocol will take approximately 5 hours for the analysis of 12 samples (not including the time for cell incubation with peptides).

Abstract
Trojan peptides or cell-penetrating peptides (CPP) are natural or designed peptides identified as cellular membrane-crossing molecules, in particular through their potency to vehiculate various kinds of compounds to the cytoplasm and nucleus of living cells. The indirect methods used so far to detect these peptides in cells led to controversial hypotheses on the mechanism of their cell entry. Therefore, we have developed a MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry-based quantification method to track these peptides inside cells. This new method is presented in this review.

Abstract
Background Basic cell-penetrating peptides are potential vectors for therapeutic molecules and display antimicrobial activity. The peptide-membrane contact is the first step of the sequential processes leading to peptide internalization and cell activity. However, the molecular mechanisms involved in peptide-membrane interaction are not well understood and are frequently controversial. Herein, we compared the membrane activities of six basic peptides with different size, charge density and amphipaticity: Two cell-penetrating peptides (penetratin and R9), three amphipathic peptides and the neuromodulator substance P. Methodology/Principal Findings Experiments of X ray diffraction, video-microscopy of giant vesicles, fluorescence spectroscopy, turbidimetry and calcein leakage from large vesicles are reported. Permeability and toxicity experiments were performed on cultured cells. The peptides showed differences in bilayer thickness perturbations, vesicles aggregation and local bending properties which form lipidic tubular structures. These structures invade the vesicle lumen in the absence of exogenous energy. Conclusions/Significance We showed that the degree of membrane permeabilization with amphipathic peptides is dependent on both peptide size and hydrophobic nature of the residues. We propose a model for peptide-induced membrane perturbations that explains the differences in peptide membrane activities and suggests the existence of a facilitated “physical endocytosis,” which represents a new pathway for peptide cellular internalization.

Abstract
We have designed a mass stable reporter (msr) tag with m/z over 500, trifluoroacetyl(alpha,alpha-diethyl)Gly-Lys(Nepsilonbiotin)-(D)Lys-Cys, for the quantification of the uptake and study of the degradation processes of cell-penetrating peptides (CPP), by matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry. This tag was found stable in cell lysis conditions. Using a quantitative MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry analysis based method, an accurate tracking of a new CPP and of its degradation products could be done. (1) The new msr(W/R) nonapeptide (H-RRWWRRWRR-NH2) enters chinese hamster ovary (CHO) K1 cells with a kinetic reaching a steady state after 30-60 min of incubation. This plateau was stable for 4 h and decreased slowly afterward. (2) The peptide msr(W/R) nonapeptide was not cytotoxic over 48 h incubation with CHO cells. (3) After 1 h incubation, the msr(W/R) nonapeptide accumulated with a 3-fold higher concentration than the extracellularly added concentration (7.5 microM). (4) The intracellular quantification was accurate with less than 3% of the quantified peptide being potentially membrane-bound. (5) There was no leakage of the full-length CPP outside the cells. And, finally, (6) analysis of the degradation process of this new CPP suggests that the peptide did not traffick to lysosomes.

Abstract
Intact noncovalent complexes were studied in the gas phase using negative ion nano-ESI mass spectrometry. Among various noncovalent systems studied in the gas phase, the interaction of DNA strands with peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) presents a strong interest as biologically relevant systems. PNAs originally described by Nielsen are used as DNA mimics as possible medical agents by imprisoning DNA single strands into stable noncovalent complexes. Two types of PNAs were investigated in the PNA/DNA multiplex: the original Nielsen's PNA and a modified backbone PNA by the introduction of syn- and anti-(aminoethyl)thiazolidine rings. We first investigated the stoichiometry of PNA/DNA multiplexes formed in solution and observed them in the gas phase via qualitative kinetics of complementary strand associations. It resulted in observing PNA2/DNA triplexes (ts) as the multiply deprotonated species, most stable in both the solution and gas phase. Second, charge-dependant decompositions of these species were undertaken under low-energy collision conditions. It appears that covalent bond cleavages (base releasing or skeleton cleavage) occur from lower ts charge states rather than ts unzipping, which takes place from higher charge states. This behavior can be explained by considering the presence of zwitterions depending on the charge state. They result in strong salt-bridge interactions between the positively charged PNA side chain and the negatively charged DNA backbone. We propose a general model to clearly display the involved patterns in the noncovalent triplex decompositions. Third, the relative stability of three PNA2/DNA complexes was scrutinized in the gas phase by acquiring the breakdown curves of their ts(6-) form, corresponding to the ts unzipping. The chemical structures of the studied PNAs were chosen in order to evidence the possible influence of backbone stereochemistry on the rigidity of PNA2/DNA complexes. It provided significantly different stabilities via V(m) measurements. The relative gas-phase stability order obtained was compared to that found in solution by Chassaing et al., and shows qualitative agreement.

Abstract
We have measured the efficiencies of two novel pseudo-peptidic carriers and various cell-penetrating peptides (Penetratin, (Arg)9 and the third helix of the homeodomain of Knotted-1) to deliver the same cargo inside cells. The cargo that was studied corresponds to the pseudo-substrate of protein kinase C. Cargo delivery was quantified using a recent method based on isotope labeling and MALDI-TOF MS. Results of cargo delivery were compared to the amounts of free CPP internalized inside cells. The third helix of Knotted gave the best results concerning free CPP cellular uptake. It was also found to be the most efficient carrier. This peptide thus emerges as a new CPP with very promising properties.

Abstract
Antennapedia and other homeoproteins have the unique ability to efficiently translocate across biological membranes, a property that is mediated by the third helix of the homeodomain. To analyze the effects of sequence divergence in the homeodomain, we have compared the cellular uptake efficiencies and interaction properties in a membrane-mimicking environment of four peptides corresponding to the third helix sequence of Antennapedia, Engrailed-2, HoxA-13, and Knotted-1. NMR studies revealed that these peptides adopt helical conformations in SDS micelles. Their localization with respect to the micelle was investigated using Mn(2+) as a paramagnetic probe. Peptides are positioned parallel to the micelle surface, but subtle differences in the depth of immersion were observed. Using a recently developed method for quantification of CPP cellular uptake based on MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, all of these peptides were found to translocate into cells but with large differences in their uptake efficiencies. The peptide with the highest uptake efficiency was found to be the least deeply inserted within the micelle, indicating that electrostatic surface interactions may be a major determinant for membrane translocation. A new cell-penetrating peptide derived from Knotted-1 homeodomain with improved uptake properties compared to penetratin is introduced here.

Abstract
New constrained PNA monomers containing a substituted thiazolidine or a thiazane ring were synthesized and incorporated in the center of a 9-mer homothymine PNA. The PNA/DNA hybrids stability was studied by UV-melting experiments which showed that the presence of the modified unit destabilizes the PNA/DNA triplexes.
