Abstract

RNA helicases are involved in nearly all aspects of RNA metabolism and factor prominently in ribosome assembly. The SSU processome includes 10 helicases and many helicase-cofactors. Together, they mediate the structural rearrangements that occur during ribosomal SSU assembly. During the identification of the SSU processome component Utp25, it was noticed that the protein displays some sequence similarity to DEAD-box RNA helicases and is essential for growth. Interestingly, mutational ablation showed that Utp25’s DEAD-box motifs are dispensable. Here, we use AlphaFold to show that Utp25 retains considerable structural similarity to DEAD-box helicases and is the first fully validated pseudohelicase.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
