Enzymatic RNA molecules which cleave ICAM-1 mRNA, IL-5 mRNA, rel A mRNA, TNF-α mRNA, RSV mRNA or RSV genomic RNA, or CML associated mRNA, and use of these molecules for the treatment of pathological conditions related to those mRNA-levels; ribonucleosides or nucleotides modified in 2', 3' or 5', methods for their synthesis, purification and deprotection; vectors containing multiple enzymatic nucleic acids, optionally in chimeric form with tRNAs; method for introducing enzymatic nucleic acids into cells by forming a complex with a second nucleic acid, where the complex is capable of taking an R-loop base-paired structure; method for altering a mutant nucleic acid in vivo by hybridization with an oligonucleotide capable of activating ds RNA deaminase, comprising an enzymatic activity or a chemical mutagen. Further are disclosed trans-cleaving or -ligating hairpin ribozymes lacking a substrate RNA moiety, as well as hammerhead ribozymes having an interconnecting loop between base pairs in stem II.
裂解 ICAM-1 mRNA、IL-5 mRNA、rel A mRNA、TNF-α mRNA、RSV mRNA 或 RSV 基因组 RNA 或 CML 相关 mRNA 的酶 RNA 分子,以及使用这些分子治疗与这些 mRNA 水平相关的病理状况;核糖核苷或 2'、3'或 5'修饰的核苷酸,其合成、纯化和脱保护的方法;含有多种酶核酸的载体,可选择与 tRNA 的嵌合形式;通过与第二种核酸形成复合物将酶核酸导入细胞的方法,其中复合物能形成 R 环碱基配对结构;通过与能激活 ds RNA 脱氨酶的寡核苷酸杂交改变体内突变核酸的方法,该寡核苷酸包括酶活性或化学诱变剂。此外,还公开了缺乏底物 RNA 分子的反式裂解或ligating 发夹核糖核酶,以及在茎 II 中碱基对之间具有互连环的锤头核糖核酶。
