Helicase89B is a Mot1p/BTAF1 homologue that mediates an antimicrobial response in Drosophila.

EMBO reports - 1 Nov 2005

Yagi Yoshimasa, Ip Y Tony

Abstract excerpt

We have identified a novel component, Helicase89B, that is required for the inducible antimicrobial response in Drosophila larvae by means of a P-element insertional genetic screen. Helicase89B belongs to the Mot1p/BTAF1 subfamily of SNF2-like ATPases. This subfamily can interact with TATA-binding proteins, but whether the interaction leads to gene activation or repression is being debated. We found that...
