Novel Tetrazolium-Based Colorimetric Assay for Helicase nsp13 in SARS-CoV-2
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a human pathogenic virus that encodes for a helicase (SC2Hel) that is essential for viral replication. SC2Hel has the ability to unravel dsRNA or dsDNA in an NTP-dependent manner from the 5′

Structural insights into the nucleic acid remodeling mechanisms of the yeast THO-Sub2 complex
The yeast THO complex is recruited to active genes and interacts with the RNA-dependent ATPase Sub2 to facilitate the formation of mature export-competent messenger ribonucleoprotein particles and to prevent the co-transcriptional formation of RNA:DNA ...

Cryo-EM structure of a helicase loading intermediate containing ORC-Cdc6-Cdt1-MCM2-7 bound to DNA [PDF]
In eukaryotes, the Cdt1-bound replicative helicase core MCM2-7 is loaded onto DNA by the ORC-Cdc6 ATPase to form a prereplicative complex (pre-RC) with an MCM2-7 double hexamer encircling DNA.

Targeting DESI2 as a Novel Therapeutic Strategy for JAK2‐Mutant Leukemias
Mass spectrometry‐based proteomics identify DESI2 as a novel component of the JAK2‐V617F complex, which associates with and stabilizes mutant JAK2 through deSUMOylation and deubiquitination, therefore promoting JAK2 mutant cell growth and MPN disease onset in vivo.

Cryo-EM structures of the eukaryotic replicative helicase bound to a translocation substrate
The Cdc45-MCM-GINS (CMG) helicase unwinds DNA during the elongation step of eukaryotic genome duplication and this process depends on the MCM ATPase function.

Multiple C-Terminal Tails within a Single \u3cem\u3eE. coli\u3c/em\u3e SSB Homotetramer Coordinate DNA Replication and Repair [PDF]
Escherichia coli single-stranded DNA binding protein (SSB) plays essential roles in DNA replication, recombination and repair. SSB functions as a homotetramer with each subunit possessing a DNA binding domain (OB-fold) and an intrinsically disordered C ...

The archaeal ATPase PINA interacts with the helicase Hjm via its carboxyl terminal KH domain remodeling and processing replication fork and Holliday junction. [PDF]
PINA is a novel ATPase and DNA helicase highly conserved in Archaea, the third domain of life. The PINA from Sulfolobus islandicus (SisPINA) forms a hexameric ring in crystal and solution.

The translation factor Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 5A (eIF5A) is essential for male fertility in mice. It supports the translation of proteins crucial for heterochromatin organization and acrosome formation. eIF5A deficiency disrupts chromocenter integrity, increases chromatin accessibility, and causes transcriptional dysregulation ...

Helicases at Work: The Importance of Nucleic Acids Unwinding Under Cold Stress
Separation of duplex strands of nucleic acids is a vital process in the nucleic acid metabolism and survival of all living organisms. Helicases are defined as enzymes that are intended to unwind the double-stranded nucleic acids.

Structure of NS3 helicase from Zika virus
Zika virus has emerged as a pathogen of major health concern. Here, we present a high-resolution (1.62-Å) crystal structure of the RNA helicase from the French Polynesia strain. The structure is similar to that of the RNA helicase from Dengue virus, with
