Post-transcriptional regulation of DEAD-box RNA helicases in hematopoietic malignancies

Genes and Diseases
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

Distinct Cleavage Trajectories Mediated by DNA and RNA Substrate in Argonaute From Methanocaldococcus Fervens

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study characterizes MfAgo, an enzyme exhibiting highly efficient DNA‐guided DNA and RNA cleavage capability. Precise RNA cleavage strictly requires dimerization to stabilize the PIWI‐loop region, while its robust DNA cleavage functions in a dimerization‐independent manner.

DDX21 Enhances Radiosensitivity in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma by Suppressing MK2‐Mediated DNA Damage Response

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
DDX21 suppresses MK2 activation by directly inhibiting Thr334 phosphorylation in a p38‐independent manner, thereby impairing DNA damage response. Clinically, patients with well‐differentiated tumors exhibiting high DDX21 expression are more likely to benefit from adjuvant radiotherapy, whereas those with low DDX21 levels are predisposed to ...

Genome-wide identification, in silico characterization and expression analysis of the RNA helicase gene family in chickpea (C. arietinum L.)

Scientific Reports, 2022
The RNA helicases are an important class of enzymes which are known to influence almost every aspect of RNA metabolism. The majority of RNA helicases belong to the SF2 (superfamily 2) superfamily, members of which are further categorized into three ...

A novel function for the DEAD-box RNA helicase DDX-23 in primary microRNA processing in Caenorhabditis elegans

, 2017
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

An ATP‐Driven N Protein–DDX21 Molecular Switch Dynamically Controls SARS‐CoV‐2 RNA G‐Quadruplex Heterogeneity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An ATP‐driven molecular switch, comprising viral nucleocapsid (N) protein and host helicase DDX21, dynamically modulates SARS‐CoV‐2 RNA G‐quadruplex (G4) heterogeneity. These viral G4s feature non‐canonical ion‐dependence and act as energy‐sensitive structural checkpoints.

MLN51 stimulates the RNA-helicase activity of eIF4AIII. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2007
The core of the exon-junction complex consists of Y14, Magoh, MLN51 and eIF4AIII, a DEAD-box RNA helicase. MLN51 stimulates the ATPase activity of eIF4AIII, whilst the Y14-Magoh complex inhibits it.

CHD8‐Dependent Chromatin Licensing Sustains Trophoblast Stem Cell Transcriptional Programs

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study, Huang et al., identify chromatin remodeler CHD8 as an essential factor in TSC maintenance and placental development. CHD8‐dependent chromatin accessibility supports the occupancy of key trophoblast TFs and is coupled to KMT2A‐associated H3K4me3 deposition at TSC stem and cell cycle genes, providing a permissive chromatin environment for ...

GSLR Drives Lung Adenocarcinoma as a Critical Regulator of Energy Homeostasis Through Creatine Kinase B Activation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies the glucose/glutamine sensitive lncRNA GSLR as a driver of lung adenocarcinoma progression. Nutrient restriction reduces chromatin accessibility at the GSLR locus and blocks CTCF‐mediated transcriptional regulation. GSLR directly interacts with DHX9 and recruits it to the CKB promoter, arresting R‐loop accumulation and promoting ...

Putative SF2 helicases of the early-branching eukaryote Giardia lamblia are involved in antigenic variation and parasite differentiation into cysts

BMC Microbiology, 2012
Background Regulation of surface antigenic variation in Giardia lamblia is controlled post-transcriptionally by an RNA-interference (RNAi) pathway that includes a Dicer-like bidentate RNase III (gDicer).
