“…Consequently, ATP hydrolysis must be required to reset the enzyme and to enable multiple turnovers (Liu et al, 2008). ADP-BeF x appears to faithfully mimic the ATP conformation of DEAD box proteins, whereas it has been suggested that ADPNP traps a non-productive DEAD box protein/RNA complex (Henn et al, 2008) and does not elicit the same conformation of DEAD box proteins as ATP (Chen et al, 2008;Liu et al, 2008). Although ADPNP does not support RNA unwinding, its binding to the helicase core allows for the closure of the interdomain cleft in response to RNA binding (Andersen et al, 2006;Bono et al, 2006;Theissen et al, 2008;Karow and Klostermeier, 2009;von Moeller et al, 2009).…”
