Title: Role of RNA helicases in HIV-1 replication Document date: 2006_8_25
ID: vefs1h6o_1
Snippet: Helicases are enzymes that separate in an energy-dependent manner stretches of duplexed DNA and/or RNA into singlestranded components. Currently, based on characteristic motifs and the sequence comparisons, three superfamilies (SF1 through 3) and two smaller families (F4, F5) of helicases have been identified (1) . Superfamily 1 and 2 contain helicases which share seven or more recognized signature amino acid motifs while SF3 and F4 and F5 helica.....
Document: Helicases are enzymes that separate in an energy-dependent manner stretches of duplexed DNA and/or RNA into singlestranded components. Currently, based on characteristic motifs and the sequence comparisons, three superfamilies (SF1 through 3) and two smaller families (F4, F5) of helicases have been identified (1) . Superfamily 1 and 2 contain helicases which share seven or more recognized signature amino acid motifs while SF3 and F4 and F5 helicases are characterized generally by three conserved motifs (2) ; the F4 and F5 proteins are largely bacterial and bacteriophage proteins. Currently, it should be cautioned that many 'helicases' are not bona fide helicases, but may only function as RNA translocases, perhaps to fulfill functions in the remodeling of ribonucleoprotein complexes (RNP).
