  ID: DDX21_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Nucleolar RNA helicase 2; EC=3.6.4.13; AltName: Full=DEAD box protein 21; AltName: Full=Gu-alpha; AltName: Full=Nucleolar RNA helicase Gu; AltName: Full=Nucleolar RNA helicase II; AltName: Full=RH II/Gu;
FUNCTION: Can unwind double-stranded RNA (helicase) and can fold or introduce a secondary structure to a single-stranded RNA (foldase). Functions as cofactor for JUN-activated transcription. Involved in rRNA processing.
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: ATP + H(2)O = ADP + phosphate.
SUBUNIT: Component of the B-WICH complex, at least composed of SMARCA5/SNF2H, BAZ1B/WSTF, SF3B1, DEK, MYO1C, ERCC6, MYBBP1A and DDX21.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus, nucleolus.
DOMAIN: The two enzymatic activities reside in two separate domains, the helicase in the N-terminus and the foldase in the C- terminus.
DOMAIN: The 3 X 5 AA repeats seem to be critical for the RNA folding activity (By similarity).
MISCELLANEOUS: Autoantibodies against DDX21 are found in patients with watermelon stomach disease, which is characterized by prominent stripes of ectatic vascular tissue in the stomach similar to stripes on a watermelon.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the DEAD box helicase family. DDX21/DDX50 subfamily.
SIMILARITY: Contains 1 helicase ATP-binding domain.
SIMILARITY: Contains 1 helicase C-terminal domain.
SEQUENCE CAUTION: Sequence=AAB02546.1; Type=Erroneous initiation;

The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
