PLoS Pathogens, 2014 Replication of plus-strand RNA viruses depends on recruited host factors that aid several critical steps during replication. Several of the co-opted host factors bind to the viral RNA, which plays multiple roles, including mRNA function, as an assembly ...

DDX3X induces mesenchymal transition of endothelial cells by disrupting BMPR2 signaling [PDF]
FEBS Open BioEndothelial‐to‐mesenchymal transition (EndoMT), a widely recognized biological process leading to abnormal endothelial function, has been implicated in various cardiovascular pathologies.

AMP sensing by DEAD-box RNA helicases. [PDF]
J Mol Biol, 2013 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.

The DDX5/Dbp2 subfamily of DEAD-box RNA helicases. [PDF]
Wiley Interdiscip Rev RNA, 2019 The mammalian DEAD‐box RNA helicase DDX5, its paralog DDX17, and their orthologs in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Drosophila melanogaster, namely Dbp2 and Rm62, define a subfamily of DEAD‐box proteins. Members from this subfamily share highly conserved protein sequences and cellular functions.

The emerging role of DEAD/H-box helicases in hepatitis B virus infection
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022 DEAD/H-box helicases are an essential protein family with a conserved motif containing unique amino acid sequences (Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp/His). Current evidence indicates that DEAD/H-box helicases regulate RNA metabolism and innate immune responses.

Synthetic lethal interactions of DEAD/H-box helicases as targets for cancer therapy
Frontiers in Oncology, 2023 DEAD/H-box helicases are implicated in virtually every aspect of RNA metabolism, including transcription, pre-mRNA splicing, ribosomes biogenesis, nuclear export, translation initiation, RNA degradation, and mRNA editing.

Role and therapeutic potential of DEAD-box RNA helicase family in colorectal cancer
Frontiers in Oncology, 2023 Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most commonly diagnosed and the second cancer-related death worldwide, leading to more than 0.9 million deaths every year. Unfortunately, this disease is changing rapidly to a younger age, and in a more advanced stage

DEAD-box RNA helicases in Escherichia coli [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2006 In spite of their importance in RNA metabolism, the function of DExD/H-box proteins (including DEAD-box proteins) is poorly understood at the molecular level. Here, we present recent progress achieved with the five DEAD-box proteins from Escherichia coli, which have been particularly well studied. These proteins, which have orthologues in many bacteria,

Allosteric activation of RhlB by RNase E induces partial duplex opening in substrate RNA
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2023 The E. coli DEAD-Box helicase RhlB is responsible for ATP-dependent unwinding of structured mRNA to facilitate RNA degradation by the protein complex degradosome.

Caspase-Dependent Cleavage of DDX21 Suppresses Host Innate Immunity
mBio, 2021 Innate immunity serves as the first barrier against virus infection. DEAD (Glu-Asp-Ala-Glu) box RNA helicases, originally considered to be involved in RNA processing and RNA unwinding, have been shown to play an important role in antiviral innate ...
