Creation of effective nontoxic highly specific systems for nonviral transportation of DNA is one of the priority problems in the development of genotherapeutic methods. Chimerical recombinant proteins consisting of Antp and Tat protein cell-penetrating domains and Bifidobacterium longum DNA-binding histone-like protein HU were obtained. The resultant recombinant proteins bind to plasmid DNA in vitro and provide intracellular delivery and expression of the reporter genetic construction with GFP gene in cultured HEK293 human cells.
