RTG 2355 @rtg2355.bsky.social · 26/01/2026Happy 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.comTho1 and MOS11 promote nucleic acid double-strand unwinding by facilitating DEAD-box helicase oligomerizationAbstract. DEAD-box helicases are essential for gene expression and RNA metabolism. However, the mechanisms regulating their activity remain largely elusive 031
