ATP-dependent RNA helicase DED1

UniProtKB accession:  P06634

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  ATP-binding RNA helicase involved in translation initiation. Remodels RNA in response to ADP and ATP concentrations by facilitating disruption, but also formation of RNA duplexes. Has weak ATP-dependent affinity for dsRNA, but strong ATP-dependent affinity for ssRNA. Acts as a virus host factor involved in the replication of the MBV and the L-A viruses by promoting the negative-strand RNA synthesis. May be involved in recognition of the preinitiation complex and DNA binding of the RNA polymerase III and play a role in mRNA splicing.
