In this paper, the authors show that the Ded1p DEAD-box helicase, which is an essential translation factor in yeast, is recruited by Tomato bushy stunt virus (TBSV) into its replicase complex. Interestingly, addition of purified Ded1p to the tombusvirus replicase assay containing the short RNA/DNA duplex ( Figure 7A Non-overlapping functions of Ded1p and GAPDH in promoting initiation by the tombusvirus replicase GAPDH (Tdh2p in yeast) RNA binding protein is also a host factor stimulating (+)RNA synthesis by the tombusvirus replicase [25, 50] . To test if Ded1p and GAPDH could play a complementary role during (+)RNA synthesis, we added the purified recombinant Ded1p and Tdh2p to the in vitro tombusvirus replicase assay based on the purified preparation ( Figure 8A ). ./cache/cord-000578-jhetyd9t.txt ./txt/cord-000578-jhetyd9t.txt
