These enzymes bind to AT-rich sites in order to break hydrogen bonds in those affected molecules to begin replication.
The binding domain of one type of this molecule in the virus that causes hepatitis C has a highly conserved TATPP sequence. A mutation in the RecQ family of these is the culprit in Werner's syndrome. One family of these in Staphylococcus aureus can be both magnesium- and manganese-dependent. In Drosophila, an analog of the human DDX type of these called Abstrakt is crucial for central nervous system development. The hexameric B type in E. coli uses covalent interactions with a beta (*) clamp-loading complex to coordinate its activities on the lagging and leading strands of the molecule it affects. These enzymes bind to AT-rich sites in order to break hydrogen bonds in those affected molecules to begin replication. For 10 points, name these enzymes that "unzip" strands of DNA or RNA.
