InterPro domain: IPR044764

General Information

  • Identifier IPR044764
  • Description DDX52/Rok1, DEAD-box helicase domain

Abstract

This entry represents the DEAD-box helicase domain found in DDX52 from animals and Rok1 from yeasts. This domain contains the ATP-binding region. Rok1 is an RNA helicase involved in pre-rRNA processing and in control of cell cycle progression [ 1 ]. In humans, DDX52 is ubiquitously expressed in testis, endometrium, and other tissues [ 2 ].
