Findings from Oregon State University advance knowledge in Escherichia coli
Published in Gene Therapy Weekly, March 26th, 2009
According to a study from the United States, "The potency of antisense peptide-phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomers (PPMOs) was improved by varying the peptide composition. An antisense phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomer (PMO) complementary to the mRNA of the essential gene acpP (which encodes the acyl carrier protein required for lipid biosynthesis) in Escherichia coli was conjugated to the 5' ends of various cationic membrane-penetrating peptides."
"Each peptide had one of three repeating sequence motifs: C-N-N (motif 1), C-N (motif 2), or C-N-C (motif 3), where C is a cationic residue and N is a nonpolar residue. Variations in the cationic residues included...
