ID:DDX3Y_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=ATP-dependent RNA helicase DDX3Y; EC=3.6.4.13; AltName: Full=DEAD box protein 3, Y-chromosomal; FUNCTION: Probable ATP-dependent RNA helicase. May play a role in spermatogenesis. CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: ATP + H(2)O = ADP + phosphate. SUBUNIT: May interact with TDRD3. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Note=Shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm in an XPO1-dependent manner. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Testis-specific. Expressed predominantly in spermatogonia. DISEASE: Note=DDX3Y is located in the 'azoospermia factor a' (AZFa) region on chromosome Y which is deleted in Sertoli cell- only syndrome. This is an infertility disorder in which no germ cells are visible in seminiferous tubules leading to azoospermia. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the DEAD box helicase family. DDX3/DED1 subfamily. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 helicase ATP-binding domain. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 helicase C-terminal domain.

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.
