NCBI Protein Information
DEAD/DEAH box RNA helicase family protein
NCBI Summary
One of two genes encoding an ATP-dependent RNA helicase that localizes predominantly to euchromatic regions of Arabidopsis nuclei, and associates with genes transcribed by RNA polymerase II independently from the presence of introns. It is not detected at non-transcribed loci. It interacts with ssRNA, dsRNA and dsDNA, but not with ssDNA. Its ATPase activity is stimulated by RNA and dsDNA and its ATP-dependent RNA helicase activity unwinds dsRNA but not dsDNA.

UniProt Comments
ATP-dependent RNA helicase involved in pre-mRNA splicing. Required for the export of mRNA out of the nucleus. In addition to ssRNA and dsRNA, binds dsDNA, but not ssDNA.
