Abstract: The invention relates to nucleic acid molecules for pseudouridylation of a target uridine in a target RNA in a mammalian cell, wherein the nucleic acid molecule comprises a guide region capable of forming a partially double stranded nucleic acid complex with the target RNA comprising the target uridine, wherein the partially double stranded nucleic acid complex is capable of engaging a mammalian pseudouridylation enzyme, wherein the guide region assists in positioning the target uridine in the partially double stranded nucleic acid complex for it to be converted to a pseudouridine by the mammalian pseudouridylation enzyme.

Abstract: Antisense oligonucleotides target the mutation in intron 26 of the CEP290 gene and reduce inclusion of the aberrant exon into the CEP290 mRNA. The oligonucleotides include no more than 3 consecutive guanosines, have no more than 60% guanosine nucleobases, include at most one CpG sequence, and/or do not have the potential to form a hairpin comprising 3 or more consecutive complementary base pairs.

Abstract: The invention relates to antisense oligonucleotides that are capable of bringing about specific editing of a target nucleotide (adenosine) in a target RNA sequence in a eukaryotic cell, wherein said oligonucleotide does not, in itself, form an intramolecular hairpin or stem-loop structure, and wherein said oligonucleotide comprises a non-complementary nucleotide in a position opposite to the nucleotide to be edited in the target RNA sequence.

Abstract: RNA editing is achieved using oligonucleotide constructs comprising (i) a targeting portion specific for a target nucleic acid sequence to be edited and (ii) a recruiting portion capable of binding and recruiting a nucleic acid editing entity naturally present in the cell. The nucleic acid editing entity, such as ADAR, is redirected to a preselected target site by means of the targeting portion, thereby promoting editing of preselected nucleotide residues in a region of the target RNA which corresponds to the targeting portion.

Abstract: The invention relates to antisense oligonucleotide that are capable of bringing about specific editing of a target nucleotide (adenosine) in a target RNA in a eukaryotic cell, wherein said oligonucleotide does not, in itself, form an intramolecular hairpin or stem-loop structure, and wherein said oligonucleotide comprises a cytidine (a non-complementary nucleotide) or a uridine in a position opposite to the target adenosine to be edited in the target RNA region.

Abstract: The invention relates to double stranded oligonucleotide complexes comprising an antisense oligonucleotide (AON) and a complementary sense oligonucleotide (SON), for use in the deamination of a target adenosine in a sense target RNA sequence in a cell by an ADAR enzyme, wherein at least the nucleotide in the AON that is directly opposite the target adenosine in the target RNA sequence does not have a 2?-O-alkyl modification and the SON comprises nucleotides that are at least complementary to all nucleotides in the AON that do not have a 2?-O-alkyl modification. The invention further relates to methods of RNA editing using the AON/SON complexes of the invention.

In particular, it relates to novel antisense oligonucleotides that may be used in the treatment, prevention and/or delay of Usher Syndrome type II and/or USH2A-associated non syndromic retina degeneration, especially by skipping a pseudo exon (PE40) between exon 40 and 41 in the human USH2Agene.

Abstract: The invention relates to editing oligonucleotides (EONs) that carry stereospecific phosphorothioate internucleotide linkage modifications at specified positions and that do not carry such modifications on positions that would lower RNA editing efficiency. The selection of positions that should or should not carry a phosphorothioate Rp and/or Sp configuration modification is based on computational modelling that revealed incompatibilities of the stereospecific linkages with the intermolecular oxygen-mediated hydrogen bond network.
