FunFam 630154: ATP-dependent RNA helicase eIF4A

There are 6 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
RNA helicase. [EC: 3.6.4.13]
ATP + H(2)O = ADP + phosphate.
  • RNA helicases utilize the energy from ATP hydrolysis to unwind RNA.
  • Some of them unwind RNA with a 3' to 5' polarity, other show 5' to 3' polarity.
  • Some helicases unwind DNA as well as RNA.
  • May be identical with EC 3.6.4.12 (DNA helicase).

DNA helicase. [EC: 3.6.4.12]
ATP + H(2)O = ADP + phosphate.
  • DNA helicases utilize the energy from ATP hydrolysis to unwind double-stranded DNA.
  • Some of them unwind duplex DNA with a 3' to 5' polarity (1,3,5,8), other show 5' to 3' polarity (10,11,12,13) or unwind DNA in both directions (14,15).
  • Some helicases unwind DNA as well as RNA (4,9).
  • May be identical with EC 3.6.4.13 (RNA helicase).

Adenosinetriphosphatase. [EC: 3.6.1.3]
ATP + H(2)O = ADP + phosphate.
  • Many enzymes previously listed under this number are now listed separately as EC 3.6.1.32 to EC 3.6.1.39.
  • The remaining enzymes, not separately listed on the basis of some function coupled with hydrolyzes of ATP, include enzymes dependent on Ca(2+), Mg(2+), anions, H(+) or DNA.
  • Formerly EC 3.6.1.4.

Nucleoside-triphosphate phosphatase. [EC: 3.6.1.15]
NTP + H(2)O = NDP + phosphate.
  • The enzyme is found in eukaryotes and thermophilic bacteria, but appears to be absent from mesophilic bacteria.
  • Also hydrolyzes nucleoside diphosphates, thiamine diphosphate and FAD.
  • The enzyme from the plant Pisum sativum (garden pea) is regulated by calmodulin.
1 A0A023FAM3
Protein-synthesizing GTPase. [EC: 3.6.5.3]
GTP + H(2)O = GDP + phosphate.
  • This enzyme comprises a family of proteins involved in prokaryotic as well as eukaryotic protein synthesis.
  • In the initiation factor complex, it is IF-2b (98 kDa) that binds GTP and subsequently hydrolyzes it in prokaryotes.
  • In eukaryotes, it is eIF-2 (150 kDa) that binds GTP.
  • In the elongation phase, the GTP-hydrolyzing proteins are the EF-Tu polypeptide of the prokaryotic transfer factor (43 kDa), the eukaryotic elongation factor EF-1-alpha (53 kDa), the prokaryotic EF-G (77 kDa), the eukaryotic EF-2 (70-110 kDa) and the signal recognition particle that play a role in endoplasmic reticulum protein synthesis (325 kDa).
  • EF-Tu and EF-1-alpha catalyze binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to the ribosomal A-site, while EF-G and EF-2 catalyze the translocation of peptidyl-tRNA from the A-site to the P-site.
  • GTPase activity is also involved in polypeptide release from the ribosome with the aid of the pRFs and eRFs.
  • Formerly EC 3.6.1.48.
1 E3TEX0
Mitogen-activated protein kinase. [EC: 2.7.11.24]
ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.
  • Phosphorylation of specific tyrosine and threonine residues in the activation loop of this enzyme by EC 2.7.12.2 is necessary for enzyme activation.
  • Once activated, the enzyme phosphorylates target substrates on serine or threonine residues followed by a proline.
  • A distinguishing feature of all MAPKs is the conserved sequence Thr- Xaa-Tyr (TXY).
  • Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signal transduction pathways are among the most widespread mechanisms of cellular regulation.
  • Mammalian MAPK pathways can be recruited by a wide variety of stimuli including hormones (e.g. insulin and growth hormone), mitogens (e.g. epidermal growth factor and platelet-derived growth factor), vasoactive peptides (e.g. angiotensin-II and endothelin), inflammatory cytokines of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family and environmental stresses such as osmotic shock, ionizing radiation and ischemeic injury.
  • Formerly EC 2.7.1.37.
