DDX1: A Versatile RNA Helicase

DDX1 as a versatile RNA Helicase
DDX1 (Dead-Box Helicase 1) belongs to the DEAD-Box family of ATP-dependent RNA helicases, whose members are collectively involved in almost all aspects of RNA processing: from transcription to remodeling to degradation. They are named for the central Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp (DEAD) sequence they all possess. The 35 human DEAD-Box proteins comprise the largest family of helicases known.

Researchers Use ATPase Enzyme Assay to Study SMCHD1 Mutations

Performing an ATPase Enzyme Assay
An ATPase enzyme assay – for more than just HTS. Structural maintenance of chromosomes flexible hinge domain containing 1 (SMCHD1) is an important protein that plays a role in gene regulation through altering DNA by addition of methyl groups.  It also contributes to the normal development of the nose, eyes, and other structures of the
