Summary
This gene encodes a member of the DEAD box protein family. The protein is an RNA helicase found in P-bodies and stress granules, and functions in translation suppression and mRNA degradation. It is required for microRNA-induced gene silencing. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2012]

Envelope surface glycoprotein gp120 env HIV-1 gp120 is identified to have a physical interaction with DEAD (Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp) box helicase 6 (DDX6) in human HEK293 and/or Jurkat cell lines by using affinity tagging and purification mass spectrometry analyses PubMed
Pr55(Gag) gag ABCE1, DDX6, and AGO2 proteins are associated with HIV-1 Gag in the intracellular high-molecular-weight assembly intermediates. DDX6 and AGO2 are enriched at early and late sites of Gag assembly at plasma membrane PubMed
gag The efficiency of incorporation of Mov10, A3G, and A3F into viral particles, which contains both HIV-1 Gag and genomic RNA, is much higher than that of the other P-body proteins AGO2, DCP1a, DCP2, and DDX6 PubMed
integrase gag-pol Analysis of HIV-1 proviral integration sites in antiretroviral treatment patients indicates that DDX6 gene favors HIV-1 integration for expansion and persistence of infected cells, suggesting HIV-1 IN interacts with DDX6 PubMed

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
