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.

DEAD‐box proteins as RNA helicases and chaperones [PDF]

WIREs RNA, 2010
AbstractDEAD‐box proteins are ubiquitous in RNA‐mediated processes and function by coupling cycles of ATP binding and hydrolysis to changes in affinity for single‐stranded RNA. Many DEAD‐box proteins use this basic mechanism as the foundation for a version of RNA helicase activity, efficiently separating the strands of short RNA duplexes in a process ...

Identification of host DEAD-box RNA helicases that regulate cellular tropism of oncolytic Myxoma virus in human cancer cells. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2017
Myxoma virus (MYXV), a Leporipoxvirus, is being developed as an oncolytic virotherapeutic for the treatment of a variety of human cancers. MYXV tropism for human cancer cells is largely mediated by intracellular signaling networks that regulate viral ...

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 ...

The DEAD box RNA helicase family in Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]

Nucleic Acids Research, 1999
The numerous genomic sequences and ESTs released by the Arabidopsis thaliana Genome Initiative (AGI) have allowed a systematic and functional study of the DEAD box RNA helicase family. Sequencing and in silico analysis led to the characterization of 28 novel A. thaliana DEAD box RNA helicases forming a family of 32 members, named AtRH.

The DEAD-box RNA helicase RhlB is required for efficient RNA processing at low temperature in Caulobacter

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
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.

Role reversal of functional identity in host factors: Dissecting features affecting pro-viral versus antiviral functions of cellular DEAD-box helicases in tombusvirus replication.

PLoS Pathogens, 2020
Positive-stranded (+)RNA viruses greatly exploit host cells to support viral replication. However, unlike many other pathogens, (+)RNA viruses code for only a limited number of genes, making them highly dependent on numerous co-opted host factors for ...

Domain orientation in the RNA helicase YxiN and the role of conformational changes for RNA unwinding [PDF]

, 2010
The RNA helicase YxiN from Bacillus subtilis is a member of the family of DEAD box proteins. YxiN is able to unwind RNA double strands in an ATP-dependent manner. The ability to catalyse RNA rearrangement is in vivo presumably necessary for the bacterial

DEAD-ly Affairs: The Roles of DEAD-Box Proteins on HIV-1 Viral RNA Metabolism

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
In order to ensure viral gene expression, Human Immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1) recruits numerous host proteins that promote optimal RNA metabolism of the HIV-1 viral RNAs (vRNAs), such as the proteins of the DEAD-box family. The DEAD-box family of
