Protein attributes

Sequence length	676 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is not processed.
Protein existence	Inferred from homology.

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Essential for viral replication. Plays an important role during transcription of early mRNAs, presumably by preventing R-loop formation behind the elongating RNA polymerase. Acts as NTP-dependent helicase that catalyzes unidirectional unwinding of 3'tailed duplex RNAs. Might also play a role in the export of newly synthesized mRNA chains out of the core into the cytoplasm. Required for propagation of viral particles.
Catalytic activity	NTP + H2O = NDP + phosphate.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the DEAD box helicase family. DEAH subfamily. Contains 1 helicase ATP-binding domain. Contains 1 helicase C-terminal domain.
