摘要: We have purified an RNA helicase to near homogeneity from nuclear extracts of HeLa cells. The enzyme migrated as a 130-kDa protein upon sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis and exhibited sedimentation coefficient 6.4 on glycerol gradient centrifugation. translocated in 3' 5' direction acted catalytically, displacing at least 4-fold molar excess duplex compared with the added. All eight common nucleoside triphosphates supported activity relatively low concentrations (Km values 15-20 microM level). In presence some single-stranded DNAs, hydrolyzed all diphosphates inorganic phosphate. displaced deoxyribooligonucleotides provided they were hydrogen-bonded possessing regions, but it did not displace ribooligonucleotides DNA containing regions. enzyme, absence ATP, binds both DNA, amount complex formed was 20-fold greater than DNA. cases, ATP rapidly reversed by addition adenyl-5'-yl (beta,gamma-methylene)-diphosphate. propose that can bind hydrolyze virtue its stability RNA, only translocate
