additional information | TWINKLE is the helicase at the mitochondrial DNA replication fork with 5' to 3' directionality and distinct substrate requirements. The protein needs a stretch of 10 nucleotides of single-stranded DNA on the 5'-side of the duplex to unwind duplex DNA. In addition, helicase activity is not observed unless a short single-stranded 3'-tail is present. The helicase activity has an absolute requirement for hydrolysis of a nucleoside 5'-triphosphate, with UTP being the optimal substrate | Homo sapiens | ? | - |
