Abstract excerpt
Helicases contain conserved motifs involved in ATP/magnesium/nucleic acid binding and in the mechanisms coupling nucleotide hydrolysis to duplex unwinding. None of these motifs are located at the adenine-binding pocket of the protein. We show here that the superfamily I helicase, helicase IV from Escherichia coli, utilizes a conserved glutamine and conserved aromatic residue to interact with ATP. Other...
