Abstract: The invention relates to antisense oligonucleotides that can form a double stranded nucleic acid complex with a target RNA molecule, wherein the double stranded nucleic acid complex is capable of recruiting an adenosine deaminating enzyme for deamination of a target adenosine in the target RNA molecule, wherein the nucleotide directly 5? of the target adenosine in the target RNA molecule is a guanosine (5?-G), and wherein the nucleotide in the AON that is opposite the guanosine is a nucleotide analog that can induce a syn conformation of the guanosine.

Abstract: In some aspects, the present invention provides methods and compositions for modifying target sites within nucleic acid molecules. In some embodiments, the methods comprise using adenosine deaminases that act on RNA (ADARs), and variants thereof, to modify target sites within DNA-RNA hybrid molecules. In other aspects, ADAR2 variant polypeptides as well as fusion proteins comprising an ADAR catalytic domain and a hybrid nucleic acid binding domain are provided, as are methods for use thereof. Methods for preventing and treating genetic disorders are also provided herein.

Abstract: The invention relates to single-stranded RNA editing antisense oligonucleotides (AO Ns) for binding to a target RNA molecule for deaminating at least one target adenosine present in the target RNA molecule and recruiting, in a cell, preferably a human cell, an ADAR2 enzyme, to deaminate the at least one target adenosine in the target RNA molecule. The AON according to the invention comprises a cytidine analog at the position opposite the target adenosine, wherein the cytidine analog serves as an H-bond donor at the N3 site, for more efficient RNA editing.
