General annotation (Comments)

Function

Acts as an ATP-dependent RNA helicase, able to unwind ds-RNA. May play a role in the RNA degradosome at low temperatures. Ref.1 Ref.4 Ref.5 Ref.7 Ref.8 Ref.10

Acts in 50S ribosomal subunit biogenesis at low temperatures, acting after SrmB. Has a helix-destabilizing activity; however it is unclear whether it requires ATP: according to Ref.4, it does not require ATP, while according to Ref.8 and Ref.9, it requires ATP. Requires a helicase substrate with a single-stranded overhang. Plays a key role in optimal cell growth at low temperature and is required for normal cell division. When overexpressed suppresses cold-sensitive mutants of the rpsB gene (ribosomal protein S2) and of the smbA2 cold-sensitive mutant (pyrH, uridylate kinase). Can replace RhlB, another ATP-dependent RNA helicase, in the RNA degradosome in vitro. Stimulates translation, probably at the level of initiation, of some mRNAs. Ref.1 Ref.4 Ref.5 Ref.7 Ref.8 Ref.10

Catalytic activity

ATP + H2O = ADP + phosphate.

Subunit structure

Associates with the 70S ribosome upon shifting to 15 degrees Celsius. Also found associated with the RNA degradosome at 15 degrees Celsius; binds rne (RNase E). Ref.4

Subcellular location

Cytoplasm Ref.4.

Induction

In response to low temperature. Ref.4

Disruption phenotype

Cells lacking this gene grows very poorly at 15-20 degrees Celsius and accumulate an abnormal large ribosomal subunit. Ref.4 Ref.10

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the DEAD box helicase family.

Contains 1 helicase ATP-binding domain.

Contains 1 helicase C-terminal domain.

Sequence caution

The sequence AAA23674.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation. Translation N-terminally shortened.

The sequence AAA23674.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Frameshift at positions 536 and 565.

The sequence AAA57965.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation.
