    text
  • can localize to the nuclear matrix during interphase by binding AKAP95
  • basic FUNCTION
  • RNA helicase with RNA dependent ATPase activity
  • involved in translation initiation, nuclear and mitochondrial splicing and ribosome and spliceosome assembly
  • important transcriptional regulator, functioning as a coactivator or corepressor, depending on the context of the promoter and the transcriptional complex
  • may act as a tumor cosuppressor in governing p53 transcriptional activity
  • proliferation-associated nuclear antigen, reacting with the simian virus 40 tumor antigen
  • playing a critical role with DDX17 in promoting the assembly of proteins required for formation of the transcription initiation complex and chromatin remodeling
  • coactivator of MYOD1
  • may be involved in pre-mRNA splicing
  • may also confer apoptosis resistance by upregulation of X-chromosome-linked inhibitor apoptosis protein-associated factor 1
  • phosphorylated DDX5 protects cells from programmed cell death by preventing procaspase-8 from proteolytic cleavage
  • androgen receptor transcriptional coactivator
  • involved in multiple myeloma tumorigenesis
  • DDX5 and DDX17 have been shown to act as transcriptional co-activators for a diverse range of transcription factors, including oestrogen receptor-alpha (ESR1)
  • crucial role for DDX17 in ESR1 co-activation and oestrogen-dependent cell growth and likely distinct but important roles for both DDX5 and DDX17 in regulating ESR1 activity in breast cancer
  • repressor of fibrogenic genes in hepatic stellate cells through interaction with transcriptional complexes
  • is a key TP53-independent target of the CDKN2A and is a novel non-oncogene participant in ribosome biogenesis
  • DDX5 and DDX17 have a dual role in the control of the pro-migratory NFAT5 transcription factor
  • DDX5 and DDX17 are members of a large family of highly conserved proteins that are involved in gene-expression regulation
  • RNA helicases DDX5 and DDX17 dynamically orchestrate transcription, miRNA, and splicing programs in cell differentiation

    signaling
    a component
  • identified in the spliceosome C complex
  • DDX5/SRA1 stabilizes the interaction of cohesin with CTCF by binding to both, and is required for proper insulator function
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
  • binding
  • small molecule nucleotide,
  • ATP binding
  • protein
  • substrate of TLK1 (phosphorylates immunoprecipitated DDX5)
  • phosphorylated DDX5 interacts with nuclear beta catenin and is thus involved in cell proliferation
  • interacting with fibrillarin in nascent nucleoli during late telophase
  • interacting with SARS coronavirus helicase
  • CDKN2A inhibited the interaction between DDX5 and nucleophosmin (NPM), preventing association of DDX5 with the rDNA promoter and nuclear pre-ribosomes
  • DDX5 and DDX17 act are transcriptional coactivators of NFAT5 and are required for activating NFAT5 target genes involved in tumor cell migration
  • ATP-dependent DEAD-box RNA helicase, is a component of the MAML1 protein complex
  • DDX5 interacts with MAML1 and is associated with the endogenous NOTCH1 transcription activation complex in human T-ALL leukemic cells
  • ARVCF interacts with different proteins involved in mRNA-processing: SRSF1 (SF2/ASF), DDX5, and HNRNPH2
