The invention provides a single chain, polypeptide fusion protein,
comprising: a non-cytotoxic protease, or a fragment thereof, which
protease or protease fragment is capable of cleaving a protein of the
exocytic fusion apparatus of a target cell; a Targeting Moiety that is
capable of binding to a Binding Site on the target cell, which Binding
Site is capable of undergoing endocytosis to be incorporated into an
endosome within the target cell; a protease cleavage site at which site
the fusion protein is cleavable by a protease, wherein the protease
cleavage site is located between the non-cytotoxic protease or fragment
thereof and the Targeting Moiety; and a translocation domain that is
capable of translocating the protease or protease fragment from within an
endosome, across the endosomal membrane and into the cytosol of the
target cell.
