DEXH-box helicase domain of ATRX Transcriptional regulator ATRX (also called alpha thalassemia/mental retardation syndrome X-linked and X-linked nuclear protein or XNP) is involved in transcriptional regulation and chromatin remodeling. Mutations in humans cause mental retardation, X-linked, syndromic, with hypotonic facies 1 (MRXSHF1) and alpha-thalassemia myelodysplasia syndrome (ATMDS). ATRX is part of the a DEAD-like helicase superfamily, a diverse family of proteins involved in ATP-dependent RNA or DNA unwinding. This domain contains the ATP-binding region.
