?cl41714: ZBD_UPF1_nv_SF1_Hel-like Superfamily
 
Cys/His rich zinc-binding domain (CH/ZBD) of eukaryotic UPF1 helicase, nidovirus SF1 helicases including coronavirus Nsp13 and arterivirus Nsp10, and related proteins Helicases catalyze NTP-dependent unwinding of nucleic acid duplexes into single strands, and are classified based on the arrangement of conserved motifs into six superfamilies. Members of this family belong to helicase superfamily 1 (SF1) and include nidoviral helicases such as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (SARS) non-structural protein 13 (SARS-Nsp13) and equine arteritis virus (EAV) Nsp10, as well as eukaryotic UPF1 helicase. The CH/ZBD has 3 zinc-finger (ZnF1-3) motifs. UPF1 participates in nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), a pathway which degrades transcripts with premature termination codons. The CH/ZBD of UPF1 interacts with UPF2, a factor also involved in NMD. SARS-Nsp13 is a component of the viral RNA synthesis replication and transcription complex (RTC). The SARS-Nsp13 CH/ZBD is indispensable for helicase activity and interacts with SARS-Nsp12, the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. SARS-Nsp12 can enhance the helicase activity of SARS-Nsp13. UPF1, SARS-Nsp13 and EAV Nsp10 are multidomain proteins; their other domains include a 1B regulatory domain and a SF1 helicase core. |
