1. A polynucleotide comprising a human UBE3A open reading frame, wherein the human UBE3A open reading frame encodes human UBE3A short isoform and long isoform, wherein the human UBE3A long isoform is human UBE3A long isoform 2 or human UBE3A long isoform 3,
wherein the polynucleotide comprises a first Kozak sequence comprising SEQ ID NO:6 operably linked to coding sequences for the long isoform and a second Kozak sequence comprising SEQ ID NO:8 operably linked to coding sequences for the short isoform; and
wherein the polynucleotide is devoid of a sequence encoding an exogenously added secretory signal.
