Abstract excerpt
The product of an open reading frame (ORF) (called YdbR) identified while analyzing the Bacillus subtilis genome has been classified as an Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp (DEAD) protein, but the biological function and enzymology of YdbR have not been characterized in detail. Here we show that recombinant YdbR-His(6) purified from Escherichia coli is an ATP-independent RNA binding protein. It also possesses RNA-dependent ATPase...
