Systematic identification, classification, and characterization of the open reading frames which encode novel helicase-related proteins inSaccharomyces cerevisiae by gene disruption and Northern analysis

Abstract: Helicase‐related proteins play important roles in various cellular processes incuding DNA replication, DNA repair, RNA processing and so on. It has been well known that the amino acid sequences of these proteins contain several conserved motifs, and that the open reading frames (ORFs) which encode helicase‐related proteins make up several gene families. In this study, we have identified 134 ORFs that encode helicase‐like proteins in the Saccharomyces genome, based on similarity with the ORFs of authentic helic… Show more

“…In any case, homology between these proteins is limited to their C‐terminal two thirds. YLR419w is not essential (Shiratori et al , 1999) and a YLR419w deletion strain has no apparent translational defect, YLR419w does not associate with 40S subunits in vivo , and purified YLR419w does not bind yeast or mammalian 40S subunits in vitro (VP, TP, A Komar, unpublished data). These data indicate that YLR419w is likely not a functional DHX29 orthologue.…”

“…4A). None o f the other 132 yeast ORFs with helicase motifs (18) had detectable similarity to Pif l p by the criterion o f a blast search (19). This search also identified Pif lp-like proteins in Candida maltosa, Caenorhabditis elegans, and Drosophila melanogaster (Fig.…”

“…Helicases separate double helix of the DNA strands or secondary structures of RNA by utilizing energy harnessed from ATP hydrolysis and therefore all the helicases contain intrinsic nucleic-acid-dependent ATPase activity 14 . The importance of helicases is further strengthened because they are encoded by a major fraction of the prokaryotic and eukaryotic genome 15,16 . On the basis of conserved amino acid signature motifs, the helicases have been divided into six superfamilies’ SF1-SF6 17 .…”
