HELB (helicase B), also known as hDHB (human DNA helicase B), is a 1,087 amino acid ATPase and 5’-3’ DNA helicase. Due to a preference for ATP and dATP as substrates, HELB binds strongly to single-stranded DNA only in the absence of ATP. HELB has been shown to bind to RPA 70 kDa subunit and at least 2 subunits of the polymerase å-primase complex during DNA replication. Upon DNA damage, HELB is thought to be phosphorylated by either Atm or ATR. When a dominant-negative mutant of the HELB protein was injected into the nucleus of early G1 phase cells, DNA synthesis was halted, suggesting that HELB is necessary for cell cycle progression. HELB is expressed highly in thymus and testis and is present at lower levels in kidney, spleen, brain and liver.
