The RNA helicases from the DEAD-box family participate in several biochemical processes, with special relevance in the assembly of ribosome ribonucleoparticles and in RNA turnover as part of the multi-enzymatic RNA degradosome complex.

Division of Labor in an Oligomer of the DEAD-Box RNA Helicase Ded1p [PDF]
Most aspects of RNA metabolism involve DEAD-box RNA helicases, enzymes that bind and remodel RNA and RNA-protein complexes in an ATP-dependent manner. Here we show that the DEAD-box helicase Ded1p oligomerizes in the cell and in vitro, and unwinds RNA as a trimer. Two protomers bind the single-stranded region of RNA substrates and load a third protomer

Molecular, genetic, virological, and biochemical analysis in combination with global proteome and phosphoproteome profiling and functional assays were applied to study the role of PR130 in the context of HSV‐1 replication. The observations reveal that host‐intrinsic mechanisms regulate HSV‐1 replication and highlight PR130 as a susceptibility factor of

DEAD-box helicases as integrators of RNA, nucleotide and protein binding [PDF]
DEAD-box helicases perform diverse cellular functions in virtually all steps of RNA metabolism from Bacteria to Humans. Although DEAD-box helicases share a highly conserved core domain, the enzymes catalyze a wide range of biochemical reactions. In addition to the well established RNA unwinding and corresponding ATPase activities, DEAD-box helicases ...

The advances of DEAD-box RNA helicase 17 in chronic non-infectious diseases
DEAD-box RNA helicase 17 (DDX17), a key member of the DEAD-box family, is vital in cellular physiological processes. This review summarizes its structural properties, distribution, functions, disease associations, and research trends. Structurally, DDX17

Heterogeneous dissociation process of truncated RNAs by oligomerized Vasa helicase
Kinoshita et al. use single molecule imaging to show that the N-terminal extension of BmVasa, a germ-specific DEAD box RNA helicase, is necessary for protein oligomerization and the dissociation of target RNA from the Siwi-piRISC complex.

Primary microRNAs (pri-miRNAs) are cleaved by the nuclear RNase III Drosha to produce hairpin-shaped precursor miRNAs (pre-miRNAs). In humans, this process is known to be facilitated by the DEAD-box helicases p68 (DDX5) and p72 (DDX17). In this study, we

ABSTRACT Class Switch Recombination (CSR) is essential for generating high‐affinity antibody isotypes from IgM during adaptive humoral responses. Despite well‐established roles for various transcription factors, whether CSR is subject to dedicated post‐transcriptional control represents a significant gap in knowledge.

A new interaction between BRCA2 and DDX5 promotes the repair of DNA breaks at transcribed chromatin
In a recent report, we have revealed a new interaction between the BRCA2 DNA repair associated protein (BRCA2) and the DEAD-box helicase 5 (DDX5) at DNA breaks that promotes unwinding DNA-RNA hybrids within transcribed chromatin and favors repair ...
