UniProt functional annotation for P15424

UniProt code: P15424.

Organism: Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c) (Baker's yeast).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Fungi; Dikarya; Ascomycota; Saccharomycotina; Saccharomycetes; Saccharomycetales; Saccharomycetaceae; Saccharomyces.
 
Function: ATP-dependent RNA helicase required for mitochondrial splicing of group I and II introns. Specifically involved in the ATP- dependent splicing of the bl1 intron of COB. Also required for efficient mitochondrial translation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12402239, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15618406, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2535893, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7567443}.
 
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;
Subcellular location: Mitochondrion matrix {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562095, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14576278}.
Domain: The Q motif is unique to and characteristic of the DEAD box family of RNA helicases and controls ATP binding and hydrolysis.
Miscellaneous: Present with 10300 molecules/cell in log phase SD medium. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562106}.
Similarity: Belongs to the DEAD box helicase family. DDX18/HAS1 subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
