DHX36 enhances RIG-I signaling by facilitating PKR-mediated antiviral stress granule formation. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2014
RIG-I is a DExD/H-box RNA helicase and functions as a critical cytoplasmic sensor for RNA viruses to initiate antiviral interferon (IFN) responses. Here we demonstrate that another DExD/H-box RNA helicase DHX36 is a key molecule for RIG-I signaling by ...

Roles of the linker region of RNA helicase A in HIV-1 RNA metabolism. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
RNA helicase A (RHA) promotes multiple steps in HIV-1 production including transcription and translation of viral RNA, annealing of primer tRNA(Lys3) to viral RNA, and elevating the ratio of unspliced to spliced viral RNA.

A mutation in the coronavirus nsp13-helicase impairs enzymatic activity and confers partial remdesivir resistance

open access: yesmBio, 2023
Coronaviruses (CoVs) encode nonstructural proteins 1–16 (nsps 1–16) which form replicase complexes that mediate viral RNA synthesis. Remdesivir (RDV) is an adenosine nucleoside analog antiviral that inhibits CoV RNA synthesis.

Human Enterovirus Nonstructural Protein 2CATPase Functions as Both an RNA Helicase and ATP-Independent RNA Chaperone.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2015
RNA helicases and chaperones are the two major classes of RNA remodeling proteins, which function to remodel RNA structures and/or RNA-protein interactions, and are required for all aspects of RNA metabolism.

Molecular characterization of DDX26, a human DEAD-box RNA helicase, located on chromosome 7p12

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2001
DEAD-box proteins comprise a family of ATP-dependent RNA helicases involved in several aspects of RNA metabolism. Here we report the characterization of the human DEAD-box RNA helicase DDX26. The gene is composed of 14 exons distributed over an extension

RNA helicase A interacts with dsDNA and topoisomerase IIalpha [PDF]

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 2003
RNA helicase A (RHA) is a multifunctional protein involved in various nuclear processes such as transcription and RNA export. It is believed that the interacting factors play important roles in determining the functional specificity of RHA. Here we show that RHA directly interacts with double-stranded (ds) nucleic acids (NAs) and assembles complexes ...

Biochemical Characterization of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus Helicase

open access: yesmSphere, 2016
Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) helicase is a superfamily 1 helicase containing seven conserved motifs. We have cloned, expressed, and purified a Strep-fused recombinant MERS-CoV nonstructural protein 13 (M-nsp13) helicase ...

Detection of dsRNA-binding domains in RNA helicase A andDrosophilamaleless: implications for monomeric RNA helicases [PDF]

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 1994
Searches with dsRNA-binding domain profiles detected two copies of the domain in each of RNA helicase A, Drosophila maleless and C. elegans ORF T20G5-11 (of unknown function). RNA helicase A is unusual in being one of the few characterised DEAD/DExH helicases that are active as monomers.

Helicase Assays

open access: yesBio-Protocol, 2014
Helicases are a class of enzymes which are motor proteins using energy derived from ATP hydrolysis to move directionally along a nucliec acid phosphodiester backbone (such as DNA, RNA and DNA-RNA hybrids) and separate two annealed nucleic acid strands ...
