Description
AI-generatedUnreviewed
The protein family includes helicases and restriction-modification system enzymes. Helicases in the family are involved in processes such as postreplicative transcription termination, ATP-dependent release of nascent RNA, and DNA repair. They form stable complexes with single-stranded DNA and RNA. The restriction-modification enzymes recognize specific DNA sequences and cleave DNA at a distance from the recognition site, requiring both Res and Mod subunits for function. They also exhibit helicase domains and are involved in DNA restriction and modification.
