Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved macromolecule transduction domain (MTD), which facilitates permeating the cell membrane of a biologically active molecule, having enhanced cell permeability. Specifically, an improved MTD according to the present invention, compared to an existing MTD, can transmit various types of biologically active molecule from inside the body and inside a test tube more effectively, and thus can be effectively used in a method to genetically alter a biologically active molecule so as to have cell permeability or in a method to transport a biologically active molecule into a cell, or the like. Additionally, the improved MTD can be very useful in development of new drugs and incrementally modified drugs as uses of the improved MTD are possible in drug delivery systems, recombinant protein vaccines or DNA/RNA therapeutic agents, gene or protein therapies, and pharmacologically or medically useful protein production or medical, pharmacological and pharmaceutical compositions.

Abstract: Disclosed are a cell-permeable p53 recombinant protein in which a macromolecule transduction domain (MTD) is fused to the tumor suppressor p53, a polynucleotide encoding the same, a recombinant expression vector for producing the same, and a pharmaceutical composition of the treatment of cancer, comprising the same. Having high cell permeability, the p53 recombinant protein is effectively transduced into cells so that the tumor suppressor p53 can be translocated into cell nuclei. Within nuclei, p53 inhibits the formation of cyclin-CDK complexes to halt the cell cycle, thus suppressing excessive cell proliferation and inducing apoptosis of tumor cells. Therefore, the p53 recombinant protein can be useful as an anticancer agent in the treatment of various cancers.
