Abstract
DEXD/H-box RNA helicases couple ATP hydrolysis to RNA remodeling by an unknown mechanism. We used x-ray crystallography and biochemical analysis of the human DEXD/H-box protein DDX19 to investigate its regulatory mechanism. The crystal structures of DDX19, in its RNA-bound prehydrolysis and free posthydrolysis state, reveal an alpha-helix that inserts between the conserved domains of the free protein to negatively regulate ATPase activity. This finding was corroborated by biochemical data that confirm an autoregulatory function of the N-terminal region of the protein. This is the first study describing crystal structures of a DEXD/H-box protein in its open and closed cleft conformations.
Figure 1.
Structure of human DDX19. A, overview of DDX19 with ADP bound and the N-terminal flanking helix in the central cleft. The Arg^429 side chain that acts as an arginine finger is presented as sticks. B, schematic representation of the cleft-inserted helix with the two conserved domains of the protein, shown in the same view as in panel A. Residues that are conserved in DDX25 are shown in blue. C, overview of the DDX19-RNA complex, with Mg-ADPNP bound in the central cleft. The Arg^429 side chain is presented as sticks. D, detail of the RNA binding site of the DDX19-RNA complex. E, detail of the nucleotide binding site in the open conformation, with the electron density (2F[obs] – F[calc]) for ADP rendered at 1.5 σ. F, detail of the nucleotide binding site in the RNA complex, with the electron density (2F[obs] – F[calc]) for Mg-ADPNP rendered at 1.5 σ. In all panels, the conserved domain-1 (yellow), the conserved domain-2 (red), and the N-terminal flanking sequence (green) are indicated.

Role of the N-terminal flanking sequence in the regulation of DDX19 ATPase activity. A, schematic diagram of the DDX19 protein constructs used in this study (not drawn to scale). N-term represents the N terminus. B, relative ATPase activities of DDX19 protein constructs in the presence of between 0 and 0.5 mg/ml ssRNA.
