Factor-dependent processivity in human eIF4A DEAD-box helicase [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
During eukaryotic translation initiation, the small ribosomal subunit, assisted by initiation factors, locates the messenger RNA start codon by scanning from the 5' cap.

A motif unique to the human DEAD-box protein DDX3 is important for nucleic acid binding, ATP hydrolysis, RNA/DNA unwinding and HIV-1 replication

open access: yes, 2011
DEAD-box proteins are enzymes endowed with nucleic acid-dependent ATPase, RNA translocase and unwinding activities. The human DEAD-box protein DDX3 has been shown to play important roles in tumor proliferation and viral infections.

Thermostable Bioluminescent Intercalating Dyes for Real‐Time, Integrated Nucleic Acid Amplification and Detection

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
We present a bioluminescent diagnostic platform that integrates DNA amplification and detection in a single step. The engineering of thermostable luciferase‐intercalating dye conjugates and controlled release of caged luciferin substrates enable real‐time, detection of attomolar concentrations of viral DNA within 30 min.

RNA Specificity and Autoregulation of DDX17, a Modulator of MicroRNA Biogenesis

open access: yesCell Reports, 2019
Summary: DDX17, a DEAD-box ATPase, is a multifunctional helicase important for various RNA functions, including microRNA maturation. Key questions for DDX17 include how it recognizes target RNAs and influences their structures, as well as how its ATPase ...

Xp54 and related (DDX6-like) RNA helicases : roles in messenger RNP assembly, translation regulation and RNA degradation

open access: yes, 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 ...

RNA Helicase DDX21 Controls CD4+ T Cell Proliferation and Promotes Inflammatory Bowel Disease via Translational Control

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterized by dysregulated T cell responses. RNA helicases, including DExD‐box helicase 21 (DDX21), are pivotal in RNA metabolism, but their role in T cell‐mediated pathology during IBD remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that DDX21 expression in CD4+ T cells correlates with cell cycle and translation ...

Unwinding the Mechanisms of a DEAD-Box RNA Helicase in Cancer [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Molecular Biology, 2015
RNA helicases function in all organisms to manage the conformational states of RNAs of all stripes. The largest family of RNA helicases is the DEAD-box family, with 37 members in humans [1]. DEAD-box proteins interact with and manipulate RNAs that range from rRNAs, as they fold and assemble into ribosomes, to mRNAs as they are exported from the nucleus,

The DEAD-Box RNA Helicase Ded1 Is Associated with Translating Ribosomes

open access: yesGenes, 2023
DEAD-box RNA helicases are ATP-dependent RNA binding proteins and RNA-dependent ATPases that possess weak, nonprocessive unwinding activity in vitro, but they can form long-lived complexes on RNAs when the ATPase activity is inhibited. Ded1 is a yeast DEAD-box protein, the functional ortholog of mammalian DDX3, that is considered important for the ...

DNA Replication Errors Drive Genome‐Wide Small Inverted Triplication Dynamics

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study provides insight into the dynamic equilibrium mechanism of a novel structural variant, small inverted triplication (SIT), which is generated by misalignment of the 3’ flap generated under DNA replication stress with palindromic sequence. Alternatively, the end sequence may fold back on itself to form an inverted fragment.

Disruption of the SNRPF–DDX24–E2F4 Feedback Loop Uncouples Splicing and Transcriptional Regulation to Suppress Ovarian Cancer Progression

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies SNRPF as a critical oncogenic driver in ovarian cancer. By regulating a self‐sustaining SNRPF–DDX24–E2F4 feedback loop through intron retention and nonsense‐mediated decay, SNRPF couples RNA splicing with transcriptional regulation to promote tumor progression.
