DHX29 [ENSP00000251636]
ATP-dependent RNA helicase DHX29; ATP-binding RNA helicase involved in translation initiation. Part of the 43S pre-initiation complex that is required for efficient initiation on mRNAs of higher eukaryotes with structured 5'-UTRs by promoting efficient NTPase-dependent 48S complex formation. Specifically binds to the 40S ribosome near the mRNA entrance. Does not possess a processive helicase activity. Rule:MF_03068, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19109895,; Belongs to the DEAD box helicase family. DEAH subfamily.
