DEAD box

Index DEAD box

DEAD box proteins are involved in an assortment of metabolic processes that typically involve RNAs, but in some cases also other nucleic acids. [1]

15 relations: ATPase, DDX3X, DEAD/DEAH box helicase, DExD/H box proteins, Eukaryote, Helicase, Metabolism, NTP binding site, Nucleic acid, Prokaryote, RNA, Sequence motif, SKI protein, Transesterification, Walker motifs.

ATPase

ATPases (adenylpyrophosphatase, ATP monophosphatase, triphosphatase, SV40 T-antigen, adenosine 5'-triphosphatase, ATP hydrolase, complex V (mitochondrial electron transport), (Ca2+ + Mg2+)-ATPase, HCO3−-ATPase, adenosine triphosphatase) are a class of enzymes that catalyze the decomposition of ATP into ADP and a free phosphate ion.

DDX3X

ATP-dependent RNA helicase DDX3X is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the DDX3X gene.

Prokaryote

A prokaryote is a unicellular organism that lacks a membrane-bound nucleus, mitochondria, or any other membrane-bound organelle.

RNA

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a polymeric molecule essential in various biological roles in coding, decoding, regulation, and expression of genes.

Sequence motif

In genetics, a sequence motif is a nucleotide or amino-acid sequence pattern that is widespread and has, or is conjectured to have, a biological significance.

SKI protein

The SKI protein is a nuclear proto-oncogene that is associated with tumors at high cellular concentrations.

Transesterification

In organic chemistry, transesterfication is the process of exchanging the organic group R″ of an ester with the organic group R′ of an alcohol.
