Abstract

The helicases are motor proteins participating in a range of nucleic acid metabolisms. RNA helicase families are characterized by the presence of conserved motifs. This article reports a comprehensive in silico analysis of Bos taurus DExH/D helicase members. Bovine helicases were identified using the helicase domain sequences including 38 DDX (DEAD box) and 16 DHX (DEAH box) members. Signature motifs were used for the validation of these proteins. Putative sub cellular localization and phylogenetic relationship for these RNA helicases were established. Comparative analysis of these proteins with human DDX and DHX members was carried out. These bovine helicase have been assigned putative physiological functions. Present study of cattle DExH/D helicase will provides an invaluable source for the detailed biochemical and physiological research on these members.
