DEAD box
DEAD box为一蛋白质家族的通称,在原核生物与真核生物细胞中皆有,因其中一个结构域有一天门冬胺酸-麸胺酸-丙胺酸-天门冬胺酸(DEAD)的氨基酸序列而得名[2]。此家族的蛋白多参与RNA相关反应[3],有许多蛋白为RNA解旋酶[4],可以消耗ATP的机制将双股RNA解开[5]。

DEAH家族与SKI2家族的蛋白序列也与DEAD box家族的蛋白相似[6][7][8],三者合称DExD/H家族蛋白[9]。
结构
编辑1980年代晚期有学者发现许多蛋白的NTP结合位点序列和eIF4ARNA解旋酶的相似[10],后续研究发现这些蛋白均有9个保守的结构域,由N端至C端分别为Q结构域、结构域I、结构域Ia、结构域Ib、结构域II、结构域III、结构域IV、结构域V与结构域VI,其中结构域II又名沃克结构域-B,包含天门冬胺酸-麸胺酸-丙胺酸-天门冬胺酸(DEAD)的氨基酸序列[2]。Q结构域、结构域I、结构域II与结构域VI为结合与水解ATP所需,结构域Ia、结构域Ib、结构域III、结构域IV与结构域V则为结合RNA所需[11]。
功能
编辑DEAD box家族的蛋白多为RNA解旋酶,参与转录、RNA剪接、核糖体组装、RNA转运、转译与RNA降解等细胞中的多种RNA相关反应[9][12][13]。
酿酒酵母mRNA剪接的过程有Sub2、Prp28与Prp5等3种DEAD box蛋白参与[5],其中Prp5可与U2 SnRNA结合以影响其结构,使其得以与mRNA内含子中的分支位点(branchpoint)结合[14];Prp28可能可识别内含子的5′端切割位点,但此蛋白无解旋酶活性[15]。另外Prp2、Prp16、Prp22、Prp43与Brr213等多种DEAH家族蛋白也参与mRNA剪切[16]。
转译起始因子eIF4A为一DEAD box蛋白,在转译起始时可解开mRNA5′ UTR的二级结构,以利核糖体小次单元扫描mRNA以寻找起始密码子[17]。另一DEAD box Ded1也参与转译起始过程,但具体机制仍不明[18];还有一与Ded1相似的DEAD box蛋白Vasa可与eIF2互动[19]。
