A [auth F]PF23002ATP-dependent RNA helicase DDX60, PIN-like domain (PIN-like_DDX60)ATP-dependent RNA helicase DDX60, PIN-like domainThis domain is found N-terminal in the homologues of ATP-dependent RNA helicase DDX60 (also known as DEAD-box RNA helicase). This helicase binds ssRNA, dsRNA and dsDNA and can promote the binding of RIGI to dsRNA.

This helicase binds ssRNA, dsRNA and dsDNA and can promote the binding of RIGI to dsRNA. DDX60 is non-essential in mammals [1] but it is required for the cell fitness in kinetoplastids and trypanosomatids and plays a specific role in translation initiation in these parasites [2]. In Trypanosoma cruzi, k-DDX60 binds both to the head and the body of the 40S ribosome subunit. It is also involved in the stabilization of the 43S PIC and the remodeling of the 43S PIC mRNA channel [2]. The domain represented by this entry adopts a globular structure with a significant structural similarity to PIN domains.

Helicases are involved in unwinding nucleic acids. The DEAD box helicases are involved in various aspects of RNA metabolism, including nuclear transcription, pre mRNA splicing, ribosome biogenesis, nucleocytoplasmic transport, translation, RNA decay and organellar gene expression.
Domain
A [auth F]PF00271Helicase conserved C-terminal domain (Helicase_C)Helicase conserved C-terminal domainThe Prosite family is restricted to DEAD/H helicases, whereas this domain family is found in a wide variety of helicases and helicase related proteins. It may be that this is not an autonomously folding unit, but an integral part of the helicase.Domain
