UniProt functional annotation for Q09747

UniProt code: Q09747.

Organism: Schizosaccharomyces pombe (strain 972 / ATCC 24843) (Fission yeast).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Fungi; Dikarya; Ascomycota; Taphrinomycotina; Schizosaccharomycetes; Schizosaccharomycetales; Schizosaccharomycetaceae; Schizosaccharomyces.
 
Function: ATP-dependent RNA helicase associated with the nuclear pore complex and essential for mRNA export from the nucleus. May participate in a terminal step of mRNA export through the removal of proteins that accompany mRNA through the nucleopore complex. May also be involved in early transcription (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
 
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;
Subunit: Associates with the nuclear pore complex. {ECO:0000250}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}. Nucleus, nuclear pore complex. Nucleus membrane {ECO:0000250}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000250}; Cytoplasmic side {ECO:0000250}. Note=Nuclear pore complex cytoplasmic fibrils. {ECO:0000250}.
Domain: The Q motif is unique to and characteristic of the DEAD box family of RNA helicases and controls ATP binding and hydrolysis.
Similarity: Belongs to the DEAD box helicase family. DDX19/DBP5 subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
