Abstract excerpt
DEAD box helicases catalyze the ATP-dependent destabilization of RNA duplexes. Whereas duplex separation is mediated by the helicase core shared by all members of the family, flanking domains often contribute to binding of the RNA substrate. The Thermus thermophilus DEAD-box helicase Hera (for "heat-resistant RNA-binding ATPase") contains a C-terminal RNA-binding domain (RBD). We have analyzed RNA binding to the...
