The fusion of a proteasome-targeting PEST motif to this intrabody enhanced the solubility of the nanobody in cytoplasm and significantly enhanced degradation of the target protein, α-syn-GFP (PMID: 22929188). The in vivo therapeutic potential of gene therapy for delivery of proteasome-directed nanobodies selectively targeting α-syn was evaluated in a synuclein overexpression-based PD model. Post-mortem assessments of the substantia nigra (SN) of Sprague-Dawley rats after intracellular delivery of VH14-PEST showed that it markedly reduced the level of phosphorylated Serine-129 α-syn labeling relative to saline-treated animals (PMID: 30155513). A bifunctional antibody generated by fusing VH14 to a proteosome-targeting signal was able to counteract heterologous proteostatic effects of mutant α-Syn on mutant huntingtin Exon1 and protect against α-Syn toxicity using propidium iodide or Annexin V readouts (PMID: 27824888).
