ABSTRACT:
Oligonucleotides (ODNs) include a sequence that is complementary to a target sequence in single stranded RNA, or single or double stranded DNA, and an alkylating function which after hybridization alkylates the target sequence. ODNs adapted for alkylating single stranded RNA, such as messenger RNA, are complementary to the target sequence in the Watson Crick sense. ODNs adapted for alkylating double stranded DNA have at least two alkylating functions and are complementary to the target sequence in the Hoogsteen or reverse Hoogsteen sense. With these ODNs both strands of the target sequence are alkylated. A third class of ODNs have at least approximately 26 nucleotide units in a continous sequence which are complementary to the target sequence of double stranded DNA, and the alkylating function is covalently attached to a nucleotide unit in the continuous sequence. Alkylation or cross-linking with this class of ODNs occurs in the presence of a recombinase enzyme.
