Summary
DDX3X is a critical component of the TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1)-dependent innate immune response.
DDX3X is an antiviral MAVS (IPS-1) enhancer, where it can bind viral RNA to join it in the MAVS complex and this augments virus-mediated IFN-beta induction and host cell protection against virus infection.
DDX3X RNA helicase can augment TBK1/IKKepsilon activity and hepatitis B virus (HBV) polymerase (HBV Pol) inhibits this TBK1/IKBKE activity by disrupting the interaction between IKBKE and DDX3X, providing an explanation for how HBV evades innate immune response in the early phase of the infection.
DDX3X initiates a multifaceted cellular program involving dynamic associations with hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA and proteins, CHUK, stress granules, and lipid droplet surfaces for its crucial role in the HCV life cycle.
DDX3X participates in antiviral innate immunity by controlling translation of PRKRA.
Entrez Gene
Summary DEAD box proteins, characterized by the conserved motif Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp (DEAD), are putative RNA helicases. They are implicated in a number of cellular processes involving alteration of RNA secondary structure such as translation initiation, nuclear and mitochondrial splicing, and ribosome and spliceosome assembly. Based on their distribution patterns, some members of this family are believed to be involved in embryogenesis, spermatogenesis, and cellular growth and division. This gene encodes a DEAD box protein, which interacts specifically with hepatitis C virus core protein resulting a change in intracellular location. This gene has a homolog located in the nonrecombining region of the Y chromosome. The protein sequence is 91% identical between this gene and the Y-linked homolog. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the large DEAD-box protein family, that is defined by the presence of the conserved Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp (DEAD) motif, and has ATP-dependent RNA helicase activity. This protein has been reported to display a high level of RNA-independent ATPase activity, and unlike most DEAD-box helicases, the ATPase activity is thought to be stimulated by both RNA and DNA. This protein has multiple conserved domains and is thought to play roles in both the nucleus and cytoplasm. Nuclear roles include transcriptional regulation, mRNP assembly, pre-mRNA splicing, and mRNA export. In the cytoplasm, this protein is thought to be involved in translation, cellular signaling, and viral replication. Misregulation of this gene has been implicated in tumorigenesis. This gene has a homolog located in the nonrecombining region of the Y chromosome, and multiple pseudogenes to this homolog have been described. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2014]
