		The founding member of the family, RecQ of Escherichia coli, was identified in a study aimed at clarifying the mechanism of thymineless death, a phenomenon underlying the mechanism for the cytotoxicity of the anticancer drug 5-fluorouracil.
		Helicases are molecular motors that use the energy of nucleoside 5'-triphosphate (NTP) hydrolysis to translocate along a nucleic acid strand and catalyse reactions such as DNA unwinding.
		BACH1 helicase requires a minimal 5' ssDNA tail of 15 nucleotides for unwinding of conventional duplex DNA substrates; however, the enzyme is able to catalytically release the third strand of the homologous recombination intermediate D-loop structure irrespective of DNA tail status.

	ABBS 2005,37(09): RecQ Helicase-catalyzed DNA Unwinding Detected by Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer
		The RecQ family helicases BLM and WRN are mutated in Bloom's syndrome and Werner's syndrome, respectively, and RecQ4 is defective in Rothmund-Thomson syndrome.
		RecQ protein was pre-incubated with fluorescent-labeled dsDNA substrate in unwinding buffer at 25 ºC, and the emission spectrum was measured.
		The dsDNA substrate and RecQ helicase were mixed and incubated at 25 ºC for 5 min in unwinding buffer A in syringe 1 and the unwinding reaction was initiated by rapid mixing with ATP from syringe 4.

		Evidence suggests that topoisomerases in association with the RecQ helicase family are essential in nucleic acid metabolism and the maintenance of genomic stability.
		We hypothesize that Escherichia coli topoisomerases and DNA helicases, similar to what has been proposed in eukaryotes, are capable of interacting to form a "toposome" that could act as an unwinding machine to play a role in DNA replication, recombination and repair.
		The RecQ helicase family is highly conserved from bacteria to humans.
