DEAD box RNA helicase functions in cancer [PDF]
Members of the DEAD box family of RNA helicases are known to be involved in most cellular processes that require manipulation of RNA structure and, in many cases, exhibit other functions in addition to their established ATP-dependent RNA helicase activities.

From unwinding to clamping — the DEAD box RNA helicase family
RNA helicases of the DEAD box family are present in all eukaryotic cells and in many bacteria and Archaea. These highly conserved enzymes are required for RNA metabolism from transcription to degradation and are therefore important players in gene expression.

Post-transcriptional regulation of DEAD-box RNA helicases in hematopoietic malignancies
Hematopoiesis represents a meticulously regulated and dynamic biological process. Genetic aberrations affecting blood cells, induced by various factors, frequently give rise to hematological tumors. These instances are often accompanied by a multitude of

DEAD-Box RNA Helicases and Genome Stability [PDF]
DEAD-box RNA helicases are important regulators of RNA metabolism and have been implicated in the development of cancer. Interestingly, these helicases constitute a major recurring family of RNA-binding proteins important for protecting the genome. Current studies have provided insight into the connection between genomic stability and several DEAD-box ...

A DEAD-box RNA helicase mediates meiotic silencing by unpaired DNA. [PDF]
Abstract During the sexual phase of Neurospora crassa, unpaired genes are subject to a silencing mechanism known as meiotic silencing by unpaired DNA (MSUD). MSUD targets the transcripts of an unpaired gene and utilizes typical RNA interference factors for its process.

The DEAD-Box RNA Helicase Ded1 Is Associated with Translating Ribosomes. [PDF]
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 ...

Bacterial versatility requires DEAD-box RNA helicases [PDF]
RNA helicases of the DEAD-box and DEAH-box families are important players in many processes involving RNA molecules. These proteins can modify RNA secondary structures or intermolecular RNA interactions and modulate RNA-protein complexes. In bacteria, they are known to be involved in ribosome biogenesis, RNA turnover and translation initiation.

AMP Sensing by DEAD-Box RNA Helicases [PDF]
In eukaryotes, cellular levels of adenosine monophosphate (AMP) signal the metabolic state of the cell. AMP concentrations increase significantly upon metabolic stress, such as glucose deprivation in yeast. Here, we show that several DEAD-box RNA helicases are sensitive to AMP, which is not produced during ATP hydrolysis by these enzymes.
