ATP phosphohydrolase (RNA helix unwinding)
RNA helicases utilize the energy from ATP hydrolysis to unwind RNA. Some of them unwind RNA with a 3' to 5' polarity [3], other show 5' to 3' polarity [8]. Some helicases unwind DNA as well as RNA [7,8]. May be identical with EC 3.6.4.12 (DNA helicase).
the ATP hydrolysis activity of the extended and wild-type DbpA are measured by the pyruvate kinase/lactate dehydrogenase coupled assay. The peptide extension is not effecting the formation of the proper ATP pocket
analysis of ATPase and unwinding activities of CsdA_564 and CsdA_1-445, and of RNA-binding properties of the C-terminal regions of CsdA and CsdA_RNA-binding domain, overview
helicase B, RhlB, is one of the five DEAD box RNA-dependent ATPases in Escherichia coli. ATPases found in Escherichia coli. RhlB requires an interaction with the partner protein RNase E for appreciable ATPase and RNA unwinding activities
the helicase activity of wild-type DbpA and the extended DbpA is investigated by measuring the unwinding of the 5'-32P labeled 9-mer annealed to the unlabeled 32-mer RNA, 32-mer RNA-DNA or the RNA-PEG chimera. DbpA performs RNA structural isomerizations in the ribosome. The only requirement for a double-helix to serve as a DbpA substrate is for the double-helix to be positioned within the catalytic core's grasp. The RecA-like domains of the DEAD-box proteins, which form their catalytic core, attack one strand of the RNA double-helix and bend it. The bending process forces the release of the complementary RNA strand. The ATP-binding to the RecA-like domains provides the energy for the single-stranded RNA bending, while the ATP hydrolysis causes the release of the second strand of the double-helix from the catalytic core and the regeneration of the enzymes. The extension of the interdomain linker region has no effect on the ability of DbpA to perform its helicase function. Thus, the physical connection of DbpA RNA binding domain to the catalytic core is unimportant for the helicase activity of DbpA, suggesting the DbpA protein is a region-specific enzyme, which would unwind any double-helix substrate near hairpin 92

Protein-protein and RNA-binding surfaces both communicate allosterically with the ATPase catalytic center
DEAD-box proteins belong to a ubiquitous family of RNA helicases, which are widely found from prokaryotes to eukaryotes and participate in multiple cellular processes, such as premRNA splicing, translation initiation, modulating RNA-protein complexes, RNA decay, and ribosome biogenesis. Sequence alignment and architecture of different DEAD-Box proteins, overview
breaking the sequence of the interdomain peptide linker and inserting the 23 amino acids peptide segment causes a decrease in binding affinity, likely as a consequence of formation of non-native interaction between the insert peptide and the RNA molecule or other regions of the protein and not a consequence of disrupting native interactions between the DbpA RNA binding domain and the interdomain linker. The peptide extension is not effecting the formation of the proper ATP pocket, but the ATP turnover rate is affected by the peptide extension. Although the ATP turnover of the extended DbpA is reduced when compared to wild-type DbpA, extended DbpA is a much more efficient enzyme than many members of DEAD-box family of proteins. The reduction on the ATP turnover of the extended DbpA is a consequence of its decrease in binding affinity for RNA. The extension of the interdomain linker region has no effect on the ability of DbpA to perform its helicase function. Thus, the physical connection of DbpA RNA binding domain to the catalytic core is unimportant for the helicase activity of DbpA, suggesting the DbpA protein is a region-specific enzyme, which would unwind any double-helix substrate near hairpin 92
DbpA is a DEAD-box RNA helicase implicated in RNA structural rearrangements in the peptidyl transferase center. DbpA performs RNA structural isomerizations in a region of the ribosome that is evolutionarily conserved in all organisms and crucial for their survival
the long, flexible C-terminal regions of CsdA are essential for high enzymatic activity and strong RNA-binding affinity, and the RNA-binding domain prefers binding single-stranded G-rich RNA. CsdA functions as a stable dimer at low temperature. The C-terminal regions are critical for RNA binding and efficient enzymatic activities. CsdA_RBD can specifically bind to the regions with a preference for single-stranded G-rich RNA, which may help to bring the helicase core to unwind the adjacent duplex, structure of dimeric RNA helicase CsdA and indispensable role of its C-terminal regions, overview
the RecA catalytic core houses DbpA's ATPase and helicase activities. DbpA contains an RNA binding domain, responsible for tight binding of DbpA to hairpin 92 of 23S ribosomal RNA, and a RecA-like catalytic core responsible for double-helix unwinding
the helicase core of CsdA is comprised of two RecA-like domains (RecA1 and RecA2) joined by a flexible linker and contains all conserved motifs, two previously auxiliary domains are found: a dimerization domain (DD) and an RNA-binding domain (RBD), conformational flexibilities of the helicase core domains and C-terminal regions, enzyme domain structure, three-dimensional modelling, detailed overview. DD is indispensable for stabilizing the CsdA dimeric structure. Structure comparisons

structure of CsdA_218-445 is determined by X-ray diffraction and refined to an R factor of 0.225, with an Rfree of 0.268 at a resolution of 2.3 A by molecular replacement using Hera (PDB ID 3EAQ) as the model. The structure of CsdA_218-445 includes two RecA-like domains (RecA2) and two DDs, which form a V-shape dimer. The V-shape conformation of the CsdA_218-445 dimer in solution is further confirmed by SAXS experiments. Conformational flexibilities of CsdA_1-445 and CsdA_FL are revealed by SAXS
in order to increase the peptide linker region length, a 23 amino acid residue polypeptide with a composition of NASSGSSASSPSASNSPGANGSS was inserted between the native interdomain region's Ala and Thr residues. The sequence of the new extended interdomain linker is PANSSIANASSGSSASSPSASNSPGANGSSTLEAE. This peptide sequence is chosen because it has similar structural and dynamic properties to the native interdomain region, and both the designed and the native interdomain linker are predicted to form a flexible and unstructured region. In addition, since DbpA is purified as a native protein, small and polar amino acids, which promote peptide solubility, are placed into the polypeptide insert to discourage the aggregation of extended DbpA and its partition into inclusion bodies. The new interdomain linker is not digested by the Escherichia coli proteolytic enzymes and the extended DbpA is expressed as an intact and soluble protein. Breaking the sequence of the interdomain peptide linker and inserting the 23 amino acids peptide segment causes a decrease in binding affinity, likely as a consequence of formation of non-native interaction between the insert peptide and the RNA molecule or other regions of the protein and not a consequence of disrupting native interactions between the DbpA RNA binding domain and the interdomain linker. The peptide extension is not effecting the formation of the proper ATP pocket, but the ATP turnover rate is affected by the peptide extension. Although the ATP turnover of the extended DbpA is reduced when compared to wild-type DbpA, extended DbpA is a much more efficient enzyme than many members of DEAD-box family of proteins. The reduction on the ATP turnover of the extended DbpA is a consequence of its decrease in binding affinity for RNA. The extension of the interdomain linker region has no effect on the ability of DbpA to perform its helicase function. Thus, the physical connection of DbpA RNA binding domain to the catalytic core is unimportant for the helicase activity of DbpA, suggesting the DbpA protein is a region-specific enzyme, which would unwind any double-helix substrate near hairpin 92
