DEAD-box proteins, characterized by the conserved motif Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp, are putative RNA helicases implicated in several cellular processes involving modifications of RNA secondary structure and ribosome/spliceosome assembly. Based on their distribution patterns, some members of this family may be involved in embryogenesis, spermatogenesis and cellular growth and division. DDX16 (DEAD-box protein 16), also known as DHX16, DBP2, PRP8 or PRO2014, is a 1,041 amino acid protein that contains one helicase ATP-binding domain and one helicase C-terminal domain. One of several members of the DEAD-box protein family, DDX16 localizes to the nucleus and is thought to function as an RNA helicase that is involved in pre-mRNA splicing events, playing an important role in cell cycle progression. The gene encoding DDX16 is located on a region of chromosome 6 that is associated with a variety of diseases, including malignancies and genetic mutations, suggesting a possible role for DDX16 in the pathogenesis of certain disorders.
