    Abstract

    We reported here a preparation of a cancer-specific gene carrier by native chemical ligation of a substrate peptide of protein kinase Cα (PKCα), which highly expresses in many types of cancer. This carrier is a tetramer of the substrate peptide connected with adequate spacer to maintain reactivity toward PKCα. The carrier successfully regulated the reporter gene expression responding to the phosphorylation of its serine residues.
