Helicase structure and mechanism

Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 2002
Structural information on helicase proteins has expanded recently beyond the DNA helicases Rep and PcrA, and the hepatitis C virus RNA helicase to include UvrB, members of the DEA(D/H)-box RNA helicase family, examples of DnaB-related helicases and RuvB.

Helicase associated 2 domain is essential for helicase activity of RNA helicase A

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Proteins and Proteomics, 2014
RNA helicase A (RHA), a DExD/H box protein, plays critical roles in a wide variety of cellular or viral functions. RHA contains a conserved core helicase domain that is flanked by five other domains. Two double-stranded RNA binding domains (dsRBD1 and dsRBD2) are at the N-terminus, whereas HA2 (helicase associated 2), OB-fold (oligonucleotide- or ...

Helicases and aging

Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences (CMLS), 2000
Studying monogenic hereditary disorders that manifest age-related phenotypes in cells, tissues, and the total organism would be helpful for clarifying the mechanisms of aging. In this context, seven human disorders that manifest age-related phenotypes have been found to be caused by aberrations of five proteins with seven helicase motifs conserved in ...

Bacterial Helicases

Journal of Structural Biology, 1998
Helicases are proteins that use the energy of ATP hydrolysis to open double-stranded DNA, RNA, or RNA-DNA hybrids into two single strands. Based upon sequence analysis, at least 12 helicases exist in Escherichia coli. We know that these proteins play important roles in DNA replication, recombination, repair, and transcription, as well as in RNA ...

Helicases: An Overview

2009
Helicases are essential enzymes involved in all aspects of nucleic acid metabolism including DNA replication, repair, recombination, transcription, ribosome biogenesis and RNA processing, translation, and decay. They occur in vivo as part of molecular complexes that include the components required for each specific step of nucleic acid metabolism.

Overview: What Are Helicases?

2012
First discovered in the 1970s, DNA helicases were initially described as enzymes that use chemical energy to separate (i.e., to unwind) the complementary strands of DNA. Because helicases are ubiquitous, display a range of fascinating biochemical activities, and are involved in all aspects of DNA metabolism, defects in human helicases are linked to a ...

Protein Displacement by Helicases

2009
Helicases are ubiquitous enzymes that are vital to all living organisms. They are motor proteins that move in a specific direction along the nucleic acid and unwind the nucleic acid (DNA and RNA). ATP hydrolysis provides energy for helicase translocation and unwinding.
