Abstract | Translational control is a vital aspect of gene expression. Message specific translational repressors have been known for decades. Recent evidence, however, suggests that a general machinery exists that dampens the translational capacity of the majority of mRNAs. This activity has been best ascribed to a conserved family of RNA helicases called the DHH1/RCKp54 family. The function of these helicases is to promote translational silencing. By transitioning mRNA into quiescence, DHH1/RCKp54 helicases promote either mRNA destruction or storage. In this review we describe the known roles of these helicases and propose a mechanistic model to explain their mode of action. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: The Biology of RNA helicases - Modulation for life. |
