UniProt functional annotation for Q9UMR2

UniProt code: Q9UMR2.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: ATP-dependent RNA helicase involved in mRNA export from the nucleus (PubMed:10428971). Rather than unwinding RNA duplexes, DDX19B functions as a remodeler of ribonucleoprotein particles, whereby proteins bound to nuclear mRNA are dissociated and replaced by cytoplasmic mRNA binding proteins (PubMed:10428971). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10428971}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=ATP + H2O = ADP + H(+) + phosphate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:13065, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:30616, ChEBI:CHEBI:43474, ChEBI:CHEBI:456216; EC=3.6.4.13; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:10428971};
Subunit: Associates with the nuclear pore complex via interaction with NUP214 (PubMed:10428971, PubMed:19208808, PubMed:19219046). Interacts with NUP214 or RNA in a mutually exclusive manner (PubMed:19208808, PubMed:19219046, PubMed:19244245). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10428971, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19208808, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19219046, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19244245}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10428971}. Nucleus, nucleoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10428971}. Note=Associates with the nuclear pore complex cytoplasmic fibrils. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10428971}.
Domain: The N-terminal extension helix acts as an autoinhibitory domain, preventing ATP hydrolysis, unless the N-terminus of the protein is displaced by RNA binding, allowing cleft closure to bring key side chains into position for catalysis.
Similarity: Belongs to the DEAD box helicase family. DDX19/DBP5 subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
