Yeast Dhx29 promotes translation progression by unwinding structured mRNA in the ribosomal A-site
The yeast DHX29 homolog, Ylr419w (Dhx29), has a similar function during translation on elongating 80S ribosomes, and is proposed to functions in translation elongation by resolving structured mRNA formed in the ribosomal A-site through its 3’-5’ helicase activity and pulling on the mRNA from its 3’ end.
