Structural Basis of DEAH/RHA Helicase Activity
DEAH/RHA helicases are members of a large group of proteins collectively termed DExH-box, which also include Ski2-like and NS3/NPH-II helicases. By binding and remodeling DNA and RNA, DEAH/RHA helicases play critical roles in many cellular processes ranging from transcription and splicing to ribosome biogenesis, innate immunity and stress granule formation. While numerous crystal structures of ...
متن کاملRegulation of DEAH/RHA Helicases by G-Patch Proteins
RNA helicases from the DEAH/RHA family are present in all the processes of RNA metabolism. The function of two helicases from this family, Prp2 and Prp43, is regulated by protein partners containing a G-patch domain. The G-patch is a glycine-rich domain discovered by sequence alignment, involved in protein-protein and protein-nucleic acid interaction. Although it has been shown to stimulate the...
متن کاملStructural basis for the function of DEAH helicases.
DEAH helicases participate in pre-messenger RNA splicing and ribosome biogenesis. The structure of yeast Prp43p-ADP reveals the homology of DEAH helicases to DNA helicases and the presence of an oligonucleotide-binding motif. A beta-hairpin from the second RecA domain is wedged between two carboxy-terminal domains and blocks access to the occluded RNA binding site formed by the RecA domains and...
متن کاملInsights into the mechanism of a G-quadruplex-unwinding DEAH-box helicase
The unwinding of nucleic acid secondary structures within cells is crucial to maintain genomic integrity and prevent abortive transcription and translation initiation. DHX36, also known as RHAU or G4R1, is a DEAH-box ATP-dependent helicase highly specific for DNA and RNA G-quadruplexes (G4s). A fundamental mechanistic understanding of the interaction between helicases and their G4 substrates is...
متن کاملStructural Basis of Integrin Activation by Talin
Regulation of integrin affinity (activation) is essential for metazoan development and for many pathological processes. Binding of the talin phosphotyrosine-binding (PTB) domain to integrin beta subunit cytoplasmic domains (tails) causes activation, whereas numerous other PTB-domain-containing proteins bind integrins without activating them. Here we define the structure of a complex between tal...
