Provided is an
oligonucleotide capable of inducing the editing activity of ADAR in a
cell and having excellent stability. The
oligonucleotide includes a first
oligonucleotide and a second oligonucleotide linked to the 5' side of the first oligonucleotide, and is capable of inducing the site-specific editing in the target
RNA. The first oligonucleotide is composed of a target-corresponding
nucleoside residue corresponding to an
adenosine residue in the target
RNA, an oligonucleotide containing 3 to 6 residues, linked to the 5' side of the target-corresponding
nucleoside residue, and having a
base sequence complementary to the target
RNA and an oligonucleotide containing 10 to 24 residues, linked to the 3' side of the target-corresponding
nucleoside residue, and having a
base sequence complementary to the target RNA, and at least one
phosphorus-containing linking group selected from the group consisting of a
phosphorus-containing linking group linking a 1st nucleoside residue and a 2nd nucleoside residue and a
phosphorus-containing linking group linking a 4th nucleoside residue and a 5th nucleoside residue, counting in the 3' direction from the target-corresponding nucleoside residue, is at least one selected from the group consisting of an alkylphosphonic residue, an
alkyl phosphate residue, and a substituted
phosphoramide residue. At the 3' end of the second oligonucleotide, a nucleoside residue corresponding to a nucleoside residue of the target RNA is deleted, or, at the 3' end, the second oligonucleotide has a nucleoside residue that does not form a
complementary pair with the nucleoside residue of the target RNA, and contains 2 to 10 residues, and nucleoside residues at least other than at the 3' end are complementary to the target RNA.
