3.6.4.13

Accepted name:

RNA helicase

Reaction:

ATP + H₂O = ADP + phosphate

Other name(s):

CSFV NS3 helicase; DBP2; DbpA; DDX17; DDX25; DDX3; DDX3X; DDX3Y; DDX4; DDX5; DEAD-box protein DED1; DEAD-box RNA helicase; DEAH-box protein 2; DEAH-box RNA helicase; DED1; Dex(H/D) RNA helicase; EhDEAD1; EhDEAD1 RNA helicase; eIF4A helicase; KOKV helicase; Mtr4p; nonstructural protein 3 helicase; NPH-II; RHA; RNA helicase A; RNA helicase DDX3; RNA helicase Hera; RNA-dependent ATPase; TGBp1 NTPase/helicase domain; VRH1; GRTH/DDX25

Systematic name:

ATP phosphohydrolase (RNA helix unwinding)

Comments:

RNA helicases utilize the energy from ATP hydrolysis to unwind RNA. Some of them unwind RNA with a 3′ to 5′ polarity [3], other show 5′ to 3′ polarity [8]. Some helicases unwind DNA as well as RNA [7,8]. May be identical with EC 3.6.4.12 (DNA helicase).
