A yeast gene encoding a putative RNA helicase of the "DEAD"-box family

Yeast. 1993 Apr;9(4):429-32. doi: 10.1002/yea.320090414.

Abstract

An unknown open reading frame from Saccharomyces cerevisiae was identified and sequenced. The predicted amino acid sequence shows high homology to the DEAD-box family of proteins. Gene disruption revealed that the gene is not essential for yeast but necessary for normal cell growth.
