Happy to share the work by Fabienne Becker et al in #NAR, showing how yeast Tho1-CTD stimulates helicase activity of Sub2, homologue of human DDX39B/UAP56, by promoting Sub2 oligomerization on RNA. The scaffolding mechanism is shared across species: academic.oup.com/nar/article/...
academic.oup.com
Tho1 and MOS11 promote nucleic acid double-strand unwinding by facilitating DEAD-box helicase oligomerization
Abstract. DEAD-box helicases are essential for gene expression and RNA metabolism. However, the mechanisms regulating their activity remain largely elusive
