ID:DDX20_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Probable ATP-dependent RNA helicase DDX20; EC=3.6.4.13; AltName: Full=Component of gems 3; AltName: Full=DEAD box protein 20; AltName: Full=DEAD box protein DP 103; AltName: Full=Gemin-3; FUNCTION: The SMN complex plays an essential role in spliceosomal snRNP assembly in the cytoplasm and is required for pre-mRNA splicing in the nucleus. It may also play a role in the metabolism of snoRNPs. CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: ATP + H(2)O = ADP + phosphate. SUBUNIT: Part of the core SMN complex that contains SMN1, GEMIN2/SIP1, DDX20/GEMIN3, GEMIN4, GEMIN5, GEMIN6, GEMIN7, GEMIN8 and STRAP/UNRIP. Interacts directly with SMN1 and with several spliceosomal snRNP core Sm proteins, including SNUPN, SNRPB, SNRPD2 and SNRPD3. Interacts with PPP4R2. Interacts with EBV EBNA2 and EBNA3C. Interacts with FOXL2. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. Nucleus, gem. Note=Localized in subnuclear structures next to coiled bodies, called Gemini of Cajal bodies (Gems). TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Ubiquitous. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the DEAD box helicase family. DDX20 subfamily. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 helicase ATP-binding domain. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 helicase C-terminal domain.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
