The invention features a hybridized polynucleotide construct containing a passenger strand, a guide strand loadable into a RISC complex, and (i) a 3′-terminal or an internucleotide non-bioreversible group in the guide strand; or (ii) a 5′-terminal, a 3′-terminal, or an internucleotide non-bioreversible group in the passenger strand, and a 5′-terminal, a 3′-terminal, or an internucleotide disulfide bioreversible group in the guide strand or the passenger strand. The invention also features methods of delivering a polynucleotide to a cell using the hybridized polynucleotide construct. The invention further features methods of reducing the expression of a polypeptide in a cell using the hybridized polynucleotide construct.
