ABSTRACT
The DEAD-box RNA helicase Ded1 is an essential yeast protein involved in translation initiation that belongs to the DDX3 subfamily. The purified Ded1 protein is an ATP-dependent RNA-binding protein and an RNA-dependent ATPase, but it was previously found to lack substrate specificity and enzymatic regulation. Here we demonstrate through yeast genetics, yeast extract pull-down experiments, in situ localization, and in vitro biochemical approaches that Ded1 is associated with, and regulated by, the signal recognition particle (SRP), which is a universally conserved ribonucleoprotein complex required for the co-translational translocation of polypeptides into the endoplasmic reticulum lumen and membrane. Ded1 is physically associated with SRP components in vivo and in vitro. Ded1 is genetically linked with SRP proteins. Finally, the enzymatic activity of Ded1 is inhibited by SRP21 in the presence of SCR1 RNA. We propose a model where Ded1 actively participates in the translocation of proteins during translation. Our results provide a new understanding of the role of Ded1 during translation.
