Coupling between the DEAD-box RNA helicases Ded1p and eIF4A [PDF]
eLife, 2016 Eukaryotic translation initiation involves two conserved DEAD-box RNA helicases, eIF4A and Ded1p. Here we show that S. cerevisiae eIF4A and Ded1p directly interact with each other and simultaneously with the scaffolding protein eIF4G.

Caspase-mediated DDX46 cleavage unchains antiviral immunity [PDF]
mBioDEAD/H-box RNA helicases are critical regulators of host antiviral innate immunity. In this study, we utilized an RNA-binding protein knockout sub-library to identify DDX46, a member of the DEAD/H-box RNA helicase family, as an essential proviral host ...

The DEAD-Box RNA Helicases of Bacillus subtilis as a Model to Evaluate Genetic Compensation Among Duplicate Genes [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 The presence of duplicated genes in organisms is well documented. There is increasing interest in understanding how these genes subfunctionalize and whether functional overlap can explain the fact that some of these genes are dispensable.
