C-terminal helicase domain of the DEAD box helicases DEAD-box helicases comprise a diverse family of proteins involved in ATP-dependent RNA unwinding, needed in a variety of cellular processes including splicing, ribosome biogenesis, and RNA degradation. They are superfamily (SF)2 helicases that, similar to SF1, do not form toroidal structures like SF3-6 helicases. Their helicase core consists of two similar protein domains that resemble the fold of the recombination protein RecA. This model describes the C-terminal domain, also called HelicC.
