The invention features a hybridized polynucleotide construct including a passenger strand, a guide strand loadable into a RISC complex, and one or more auxiliary moieties. At least one of the auxiliary moieties is non-bioreversibly linked to an internucleoside phosphate or phosphorothioate in the passenger strand. The invention further features methods of delivery a polynucleotide construct to a cell and methods of reducing the expression of a protein in a cell. The methods typically involve contacting the cell with the hybridized polynucleotide construct.
该发明涉及一种杂交多核苷酸构造,包括一个载体链、一个可装载到RISC复合物中的引导链,以及一个或多个辅助基团。至少一个辅助基团与载体链中的一个核苷酸间
磷酸酯或
磷硫酸酯非可逆地连接。该发明还涉及将多核苷酸构造递送至细胞的方法以及减少细胞中蛋白质表达的方法。这些方法通常涉及将细胞与杂交多核苷酸构造接触。
