    basic FUNCTION
  • implicated in a number of cellular processes involving alteration of RNA secondary structure such as translation initiation, nuclear and mitochondrial splicing, and ribosome and splicesosome assembly
  • acting as an RNA helicase
  • may be an alternative splicing regulatory factor
  • is required for optimal function of the zinc-finger antiviral protein.
  • 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
  • critical role for DDX5 and DDX17 in tumor cell migration through the fine regulation of NFAT5 pathway
  • 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
  • has dual roles in the recognition of stem loops: in the nucleus for endogenous microRNA (miRNA) biogenesis and in the cytoplasm for surveillance against structured non-self-elements
  • DDX17 is a SOX2-binding protein in ER-positive breast cancer

  • ATP
  • protein
  • DDX5 and DDX17 have a dual role in the control of the pro-migratory NFAT5 transcription factor
  • DDX5 and DDX17 act are transcriptional coactivators of NFAT5 and are required for activating NFAT5 target genes involved in tumor cell migration
  • binding between DDX17 and SOX2, although this interaction was largely restricted to reporter responsive (RR) cells
  • DDX17 and KHSRP influence AGO2 stability by regulating miRNA levels in the cell and that loss of DDX17/KHSRP results in a decrease of unloaded AGO2
