Modularity and Specialization in Superfamily 1 and 2 Helicases
Open accessAbstract
The family of nucleic acid (NA) strand separation enzymes known as helicases are found in all organisms and participate in a wide variety of cellular processes. The central reaction catalyzed is always the same: hydrolysis of a nucleoside triphosphate (NTP; usually ATP) is coupled to the separation of an NA duplex, be it DNA-DNA, DNA-RNA, or RNA-RNA. This central process is required in almost every aspect of NA metabolism in the cell, including chromosomal and plasmid replication, transcription, translation, RNA processing, and DNA recombination and repair (30, 46). This widespread usage may be seen by examining the cellular complement of helicases; for example, at least 12 putative DNA helicases have been identified in the genome of Escherichia coli, while it has been estimated that more than 2% of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome encodes helicase-related proteins (48).

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.
