Members of this family include the DEAD and DEAH box helicases. Helicases are involved in unwinding nucleic acids. The DEAD box helicases are involved in various aspects of RNA metabolism, including nuclear transcription, pre mRNA splicing, ribosome biogenesis, nucleocytoplasmic transport, translation, RNA decay and organellar gene expression.
The Prosite family is restricted to DEAD/H helicases, whereas this domain family is found in a wide variety of helicases and helicase related proteins. It may be that this is not an autonomously folding unit, but an integral part of the helicase.
This domain is found in spliceosomal RNA helicase Brr2. Brr2 is required for the assembly of a catalytically active spliceosome on a messenger RNA precursor. The domain is found in the N-terminal region and is non-canonically PWI-like. The PWI-like d ...
This domain is found in spliceosomal RNA helicase Brr2. Brr2 is required for the assembly of a catalytically active spliceosome on a messenger RNA precursor. The domain is found in the N-terminal region and is non-canonically PWI-like. The PWI-like domain is thought to be involved in protein-protein interactions [1].
