Herein, we describe the design and synthesis of multi-conjugatable fatty acid monomer phosphoramidites and their conjugation to antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs). Multivalent long-chain fatty acid conjugation improved the cellular uptake of ASOs but decreased in vitro activity due to alterations in physical properties and cellular localization. In addition, multivalently fatty acid-conjugated ASOs showed different organ specificity compared with that of unconjugated ASO in in vivo experiment.

The fissioning protein CtBP3/BARS is a member of the CtBP transcription corepressor family of proteins. The characterization of this fissioning activity of CtBP3/BARS in both isolated Golgi membranes and in intact cells has indicated that the CtBP family includes multifunctional proteins that can act both in the nucleus and in the cytoplasm. The fissiogenic activity of CtBP3/BARS has a role in the fragmentation of the Golgi complex during mitosis and during intracellular membrane transport.
