ATP- and magnesium-dependent helicase that plays an essential role in innate immunity (PubMed:30510222).
Participates in the DNA-triggered cGAS/STING pathway by promoting the DNA binding and activation of CGAS. Enhances also DDX58-induced type I interferon production probably by helping DDX58 at sensing pathogenic RNA (PubMed:30804210).
In addition, plays an essential role in stress granule formation (PubMed:12642610, PubMed:20180778, PubMed:23279204).
Unwinds preferentially partial DNA and RNA duplexes having a 17 bp annealed portion and either a hanging 3′ tail or hanging tails at both 5′- and 3′-ends (PubMed:9889278).
Unwinds DNA/DNA, RNA/DNA, and RNA/RNA substrates with comparable efficiency (PubMed:9889278).
Acts unidirectionally by moving in the 5′ to 3′ direction along the bound single-stranded DNA (PubMed:9889278).
Phosphorylation-dependent sequence-specific endoribonuclease in vitro (PubMed:11604510).
Cleaves exclusively between cytosine and adenine and cleaves MYC mRNA preferentially at the 3′-UTR (PubMed:11604510).
