RNA Unwinding by the Trf4/Air2/Mtr4 Polyadenylation (TRAMP) Complex [PDF]
, 2012 Many RNA-processing events in the cell nucleus involve the Trf4/Air2/Mtr4 polyadenylation (TRAMP) complex, which contains the poly(A) polymerase Trf4p, the Zn-knuckle protein Air2p, and the RNA helicase Mtr4p.

Targeting the eIF4A RNA helicase blocks translation of the MUC1-C oncoprotein [PDF]
, 2012 The oncogenic MUC1-C subunit is aberrantly overexpressed in most human breast cancers by mechanisms that are not well understood. The present studies demonstrate that stimulation of non- malignant MCF-10A cells with epidermal growth factor (EGF) or ...

Methotrexate, an anti-inflammatory drug, inhibits Hepatitis E viral replication
Journal of Enzyme Inhibition and Medicinal Chemistry, 2023 Hepatitis E Virus (HEV) is a positively oriented RNA virus having a 7.2 kb genome. HEV consists of three open reading frames (ORF1-3). Of these, ORF1 codes for the enzymes Methyltransferase (Mtase), Papain-like cysteine protease (PCP), RNA helicase, and ...

Snf2 family ATPases and DExx box helicases:differences and unifying concepts from high-resolution crystal structures [PDF]
, 2006 Proteins with sequence similarity to the yeast Snf2 protein form a large family of ATPases that act to alter the structure of a diverse range of DNA–protein structures including chromatin. Snf2 family enzymes are related in sequence to DExx box helicases,

Human mitochondrial degradosome prevents harmful mitochondrial R loops and mitochondrial genome instability [PDF]
, 2018 R loops are nucleic acid structures comprising an DNA-RNA hybrid and a displaced single-stranded DNA. These structures may occur transiently during transcription, playing essential biological functions. However, persistent R loops may become pathological
