    basic FUNCTION
  • ATP dependent RNA helicase, playing a catalytic role in the function of the SMN complex on RNPs
  • playing a role in the cytoplasmic spliceosomal Sn RNP assembly
  • playing a role in nuclear pre-mRNA splicing
  • may regulate NR5A1 activity
  • transcriptional corepressor activity important for embryonic and ovarian development
  • new functions and regulation for both DAPK and DDX20 in carcinogenesis
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, RNA splicing

  • SMN1, SNRPB, SNRPD2, SNRPD3, SNUPN
  • Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigens EBNA2, EBNA3C
  • interacting with PPP4R2
  • tight interaction of GEMIN4 with DDX20 suggesting that it could serve as a cofactor of this DEAD box protein
  • interacting partner of HSPB8
  • NANOS1-PUM2 complex, together with DDX20 and small noncoding RNAs, possibly regulate mRNA translation within chromatoid body (CB) of the human germ cells
