The human Dicer helicase domain is capable of ATP hydrolysis and single-stranded nucleic acid binding

Abstract Background Vertebrates have one Dicer ortholog that generates both microRNAs (miRNAs) and small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), in contrast to the multiple Dicer-like proteins found in flies and plants. Here, we focus on the functions of the human Dicer (hDicer) helicase domain. The helicase dom...
