Abstract
We have identified a novel Drosophila protein, DBF80, that exhibits si gnificant similarity to mouse mDEAD5, yeast TIF1/2, and mammalian eIF- 4A. DBP80 is a member of a subclass of DEAD-box proteins that contains a distinct domain. PX(I/R>ILLKR(E/D)EETLEGIKQ(F/Y)(F/Y), in addition to the seven canonical helicase domains.
