Mechanochemistry of T7 DNA Helicase
Journal of Molecular Biology, 2005The bacteriophage T7 helicase is a ring-shaped hexameric motor protein that unwinds double-stranded DNA during DNA replication and recombination. To accomplish this it couples energy from the nucleotide hydrolysis cycle to translocate along one of the DNA strands.

Efficient Unwinding of Triplex DNA by a DNA Helicase
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1994Sequence specific triple helix formation shows promise as a strategy for gene-specific inhibition of gene expression by blocking promoters or enhancers. Therefore, it is important to understand how this unusual structure affects DNA metabolic processes other than transcription.

RECQ DNA Helicases and Osteosarcoma
2014The RECQ family of DNA helicases is a conserved group of enzymes that are important for maintaining genomic integrity. In humans, there are five RECQ helicase genes, and mutations in three of them-BLM, WRN, and RECQL4-are associated with the genetic disorders Bloom syndrome, Werner syndrome, and Rothmund-Thomson syndrome (RTS), respectively ...

Biochemistry, 1988
The DNA helicase activity of DNA-dependent ATPase B purified from mouse FM3A cells [Seki, M., Enomoto, T., Hanaoka, F., & Yamada, M. (1987) Biochemistry 26, 2924-2928] has been further characterized. The helicase activity was assayed with partially duplex DNA substrates in which oligonucleotides to be released by the enzyme were radiolabeled ...

Enhancing helicase-dependent amplification by fusing the helicase with the DNA polymerase
Gene, 2008In this study, we have engineered a new bifunctional protein named "helimerase", by physically linking Thermoanaerobacter tengcongensis UvrD helicase (TteUvrD) and Bacillus stearothermophilus DNA polymerase I Large Fragment (Bstpol) using a coiled-coil.

XPB: An unconventional SF2 DNA helicase
Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology, 2015XPB is a 3'-5' DNA helicase belonging to the superfamily 2 (SF2) of helicases. XPB is an essential core subunit of the eukaryotic basal transcription factor complex TFIIH which plays a dual role in transcription and DNA repair: 1) to facilitate the melting of the promoter during the initiation of RNA polymerase II transcription; 2) to unwind double ...

DNA Helicases of Escherichia coli
1991A great deal has been learned in the last 15 years with regard to how helicase enzymes participate in DNA metabolism and how they interact with their DNA substrates. However, many questions remain unanswered. Of critical importance is an understanding of how NTP hydrolysis and hydrogen-bond disruption are coupled.

Helicases, G4‐DNAs, and Drug Design
ChemMedChem, 2014AbstractNew helicase assays that recognise therapeutically important G4‐DNA structures will lead to the discovery of novel molecular entities that bind not only to G4‐tetrads, but also to grooves and loops of G4‐DNA. Such assays can also provide inhibitors of G4‐specific helicases that will shed light on the emerging involvement of helicases in cancer ...

Molecular Characterization of Nuclear DNA Helicase II (RNA Helicase A)
2009Nuclear DNA helicase II (NDH II) was first isolated from calf thymus using a DNA-unwinding assay. Subsequently it has been shown to be a homologue of human RNA helicase A (RHA) and the maleless protein (MLE) from Drosophila. Accordingly, the protein possesses both DNA and RNA unwinding activities.
