RNA helicases can either remodel or lock the composition of messenger ribonucleoprotein complexes, and thus they have pleiotropic functions in the regulation of gene expression. RNA helicases can drive the progression of mRNAs between various RNA-processing factories, leading to protein synthesis or to mRNA storage or decay.
