A novel DEAD-box RNA helicase exhibits high sequence conservation from yeast to humans

Biochim Biophys Acta. 1998 Apr 29;1397(2):131-6. doi: 10.1016/s0167-4781(97)00213-3.

Abstract

We have identified a novel Drosophila protein, DBP80, that exhibits significant similarity to mouse mDEAD5, yeast TIF1/2, and mammalian eIF-4A. DBP80 is a member of a subclass of DEAD-box proteins that contains a distinct domain, PX(I/R)ILLKR(E/D)EETLEGIKQ(F/Y)(F/Y), in addition to the seven canonical helicase domains.
