LTLRKEPASEIAQSILEAYSQNGWANRRSGGKRPPPRRRQRRKKRG (D-retro-inverso isoform)
Modification
All-D-amino-acid retro-inverso isoform (reversed sequence of the FOXO4 p53-interacting segment); free N- and C-termini.
FOXO4-DRI corresponds to the reversed, all-D-amino-acid version of the FOXO4 segment that engages the tumor-suppressor protein p53; it carries an arginine-rich cell-penetrating segment at its C-terminus. The research literature characterizes it as a competitive disruptor of the FOXO4–p53 protein–protein interaction. In the originating model (Baar et al., 2017), FOXO4 is described as sequestering p53 in nuclear PML bodies in senescent cells; the peptide is studied for its capacity to interfere with that interaction, and assays measure p53 nuclear localization and apoptosis endpoints in senescent versus non-senescent cell cultures. Subsequent solution-NMR and biophysical work has mapped the binding interface to the disordered p53 transactivation domain and the FOXO4 forkhead domain (Bourgeois et al., 2025; Kohoutova et al., 2025).
