This 27-residue peptide, designated MPGΔNLS,is derived from the hydrophobic fusion peptide of HIV-1 gp41 (for efficient crossing of the cell membrane) and the hydrophilic nuclear localization sequence of SV40 large T antigen (for the nuclear addressing of the peptide). MPGΔNLS contains a single mutation in which the second lysine in the NLS has been mutated to serine.
