Identification of a novel nuclease activity in human DDX49 helicase

Human DDX49 is an emerging target in cancer progression and retroviral diseases through its essential roles in nucleolar RNA processing. Here, we identify nuclease activity of human DDX49, which requires active site aspartate residues within a conserved region of metazoan DDX49s that is absent from...
