Citation | Journal: Nat Commun / Year: 2026Title: Asymmetric dimeric assembly of Suv3 helicase facilitates processive RNA unwinding. Authors: Malay Patra / Monika Jain / Yi-Ching Li / Yi-Ping Chen / Bagher Golzarroshan / Hanna S Yuan / ![]() Abstract: Human Suv3 is a dimeric helicase that collaborates with the exoribonuclease PNPase to mediate RNA decay and surveillance in mitochondria. Despite its pivotal role in maintaining mitochondrial ...Human Suv3 is a dimeric helicase that collaborates with the exoribonuclease PNPase to mediate RNA decay and surveillance in mitochondria. Despite its pivotal role in maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis, the molecular mechanism underlying Suv3-mediated RNA unwinding has remained elusive. Here, we present near-atomic-resolution cryogenic electron microscopy structures of Suv3 captured in four functional states: the apo form, two binary complexes with ADP and single-stranded RNA (ssRNA), and a ternary complex with ssRNA and an ATP analog (AMP-PNP). These structures reveal an unexpected asymmetric dimeric organization, in which only one of the two protomers engages in the initial binding of ADP, ssRNA, or both ssRNA and AMP-PNP. Complementary biochemical analyses demonstrate that Suv3 dimerization significantly enhances RNA-binding and unwinding efficiency in an ATP-hydrolysis-dependent manner. Together, these findings provide key insights into the dimeric architecture of Suv3 and establish a mechanistic framework for its coordinated function in processive RNA unwinding. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
