Xp54 and related (DDX6-like) RNA helicases : roles in messenger RNP assembly, translation regulation and RNA degradation [PDF]
, 2006 The DEAD-box RNA helicase Xp54 is an integral component of the messenger ribonucleoprotein (mRNP) particles of Xenopus oocytes. In oocytes, several abundant proteins bind pre-mRNA transcripts to modulate nuclear export, RNA stability and translational ...

Coordinated function of cellular DEAD-box helicases in suppression of viral RNA recombination and maintenance of viral genome integrity. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2015 The intricate interactions between viruses and hosts include an evolutionary arms race and adaptation that is facilitated by the ability of RNA viruses to evolve rapidly due to high frequency mutations and genetic RNA recombination.

ATPase mechanism of the 5'-3' DNA helicase, RecD2: evidence for a pre-hydrolysis conformation change [PDF]
, 2013 The superfamily 1 helicase, RecD2, is a monomeric, bacterial enzyme with a role in DNA repair, but with 5'-3' activity unlike most enzymes from this superfamily. Rate constants were determined for steps within the ATPase cycle of RecD2 in the presence of

Biological roles of DExH RNA helicase, RHAU [PDF]
, 2007 In this thesis, I have described the work carried out on a single protein called RHAU, dealing with aspects of protein localization in cells, the regulation of global gene expression by different mechanisms, and cellular stress-responses.

A conserved role of a DEAD box helicase in mRNA masking [PDF]
RNA, 2001 Clam p82 is a member of the cytoplasmic polyadenylation element-binding protein (CPEB) family of RNA-binding proteins and serves dual functions in regulating gene expression in early development. In the oocyte, p82/CPEB is a translational repressor, whereas in the activated egg, it acts as a polyadenylation factor. Coimmunoprecipitations were performed

Quantitative analysis of snoRNA association with pre-ribosomes and release of snR30 by Rok1 helicase [PDF]
, 2008 In yeast, three small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) are essential for the processing of pre-ribosomal RNA—U3, U14 and snR30—whereas 72 non-essential snoRNAs direct site-specific modification of pre-rRNA. We applied a quantitative screen for alterations in the

The Ded1 DEAD Box Helicase Interacts with Chk1 and Cdc2 [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2002 Ded1 is a fission yeast DEAD box protein involved in translation. We isolated Ded1 in a screen for multi-copy suppressors of a cold-sensitive, loss-of-function mutant of the cyclin-dependent kinase Cdc2. The checkpoint protein kinase Chk1, required for cell cycle arrest in response to DNA damage, was also isolated in this screen.
