RNA Unwinding by the Trf4/Air2/Mtr4 Polyadenylation (TRAMP) Complex [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

A helicase links upstream ORFs and RNA structure [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Genetics, 2018
Upstream open reading frames (uORFs) in 5' UTRs of eukaryotic mRNAs are increasingly recognized as important elements that regulate cellular protein synthesis. Since uORFs can start from non-AUG codons, an enormous number of potential uORF initiation sites exists in 5'UTRs.

Recognition of two distinct elements in the RNA substrate by the RNA-binding domain of the T. thermophilus DEAD box helicase Hera [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
DEAD box helicases catalyze the ATP-dependent destabilization of RNA duplexes. Whereas duplex separation is mediated by the helicase core shared by all members of the family, flanking domains often contribute to binding of the RNA substrate.

Helicase: A genetic tool for providing stress tolerance in plants

open access: yesPlant Stress, 2023
Alteration of stress (abiotic and biotic) constitutes one of the major problems for normal plants health. In the present scenario, new molecular tools are broadly utilized to improve stress tolerance and high-yielding crop plants.

SARS-Coronavirus-2 Nsp13 Possesses NTPase and RNA Helicase Activities That Can Be Inhibited by Bismuth Salts

open access: yesVirologica Sinica, 2020
The ongoing outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has become a global public health emergency. SARS-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causative pathogen of COVID-19, is a positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus belonging to the family ...

Targeting the eIF4A RNA helicase blocks translation of the MUC1-C oncoprotein [PDF]

open access: yes, 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

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Quantitative analysis of snoRNA association with pre-ribosomes and release of snR30 by Rok1 helicase [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
In yeast, three small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) are essential for the processing of pre-ribosomal RNA—U3, U14 and snR30—whereas 72 non-essential snoRNAs direct site-specific modification of pre-rRNA. We applied a quantitative screen for alterations in the

Role reversal of functional identity in host factors: Dissecting features affecting pro-viral versus antiviral functions of cellular DEAD-box helicases in tombusvirus replication.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2020
Positive-stranded (+)RNA viruses greatly exploit host cells to support viral replication. However, unlike many other pathogens, (+)RNA viruses code for only a limited number of genes, making them highly dependent on numerous co-opted host factors for ...

RNA helicase A modulates translation of HIV-1 and infectivity of progeny virions

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 2009
Retroviruses rely on host RNA-binding proteins to modulate various steps in their replication. Previously several animal retroviruses were determined to mediate Dhx9/RNA helicase A (RHA) interaction with a 5′ terminal post-transcriptional control element
