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.
