This gene encodes a member of the DEAD box protein family.
DEAD box proteins, characterized by the conserved motif
Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp (DEAD), are putative RNA helicases. They are
implicated in a number of cellular processes involving alteration
of RNA secondary structure, such as translation initiation, nuclear
and mitochondrial splicing, and ribosome and spliceosome assembly.
Based on their distribution patterns, some members of this family
are believed to be involved in embryogenesis, spermatogenesis, and
cellular growth and division. The protein encoded by this gene is a
nuclear matrix protein. Its amino acid sequence is highly similar
to the amino acid sequences of the translation initiation factors
eIF4AI and eIF4AII, two other members of the DEAD box protein
family.1) Koroleva, O.A., et al. Plant Cell 21(5):1592-1606(2009)
