  • PubMed Abstract: 

    Helicases are nucleotide triphosphate (NTP)-dependent enzymes responsible for unwinding duplex DNA and RNA during genomic replication. The 2.1 A resolution structure of the HCV helicase from the positive-stranded RNA hepatitis C virus reveals a molecule with distinct NTPase and RNA binding domains. The structure supports a mechanism of helicase activity involving initial recognition of the requisite 3' single-stranded region on the nucleic acid substrate by a conserved arginine-rich sequence on the RNA binding domain. Comparison of crystallographically independent molecules shows that rotation of the RNA binding domain involves conformational changes within a conserved TATPP sequence and untwisting of an extended antiparallel beta-sheet. Location of the TATPP sequence at the end of an NTPase domain beta-strand structurally homologous to the 'switch region' of many NTP-dependent enzymes offers the possibility that domain rotation is coupled to NTP hydrolysis in the helicase catalytic cycle.
