    basic FUNCTION
  • RNA helicase with RNA dependent ATPase activity
  • is required for testicular tumorigenesis
  • specific roles in differentiated cells
  • cofactor in various biological processes
  • is required for both Rev activity and HIV production from infected cells
  • DDX3X, DDX1 and DHX9 are among the helicases that are required for the replication of a diverse range of viruses
  • DDX1 and DDX3X DEAD-box RNA helicases are known to be required for efficient HIV-1 Rev-dependent RNA export
  • plays an important role in tRNA and mRNA processing, is involved in tumor progression and is also hijacked by several virus families such as HIV-1 for replication and nuclear export
  • potential role for DDX1 in resolving RNA-DNA structures that accumulate at DSBs located at sites of active transcription
  • DDX1 and RIF1 have different nucleic acid requirements for accumulation at DSBs, with RNA-DNA hybrids required for DDX1 accrual at DSBs, and single-strand RNA required for accumulation of RIF1 at these sites
  • important role for DDX1 in the regulation of gene alternative splicing and insulin secretion in pancreatic beta cells
  • novel role for DDX1 in maintaining cytoplasmic mRNA levels in cells exposed to oxidative stress
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell cycle

    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • DDX1-DDX21-DHX36 complex represents a dsRNA sensor that uses the TICAM1 pathway to activate type I IFN responses in the cytosol of myeloid dendritic cells (mDCs)
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule nucleotide,
  • ATP binding
  • strong cooperativity in binding of RNA and ATP to DDX1 that is also reflected in ATP hydrolysis
  • protein
  • interacting with RELA, recruiting it to NF-KB-binding promoter sequences
  • binding HIV Regulator of virion (Rev) protein, hwihc is required for nuclear export of viral transcripts v)
  • acts potentially as a cellular cofactor by promoting oligomerization of Rev on the Rev response element (RRE)
  • subcellular localization of KHSRP is regulated by competing interactions with DDX1 or 14-3-3
  • DDX1, a RNA helicase also implicated in DSB repair, interacts with RIF1, with co-localization of DDX1 and RIF1 observed throughout interphase
  • LGR5 is likely a critical effector of DDX1 in colorectal cancer cells
  • FAM98A associates with stress granule-localized proteins, such as DDX1, ATXN2, ATXN2L, and NUFIP2
  • DDX1 controls access to subsets of key maternal RNAs required for early embryonic development
  • nuclear role for GLE1 in coordinating DDX1 function in transcription termination complexes
  • cell & other
