DEAD-box helicases

DEAD-box helicases
Family of ATP-dependent DNA or RNA helicases with a 4 amino acid consensus, -D-E-A-D-, that resembles an ATP binding site. Examples: p68, a human nuclear protein involved in cell growth; vasa, a Drosophila protein required for specification of posterior embryonic structures.
