Function | Essential for the formation of P-bodies, cytosolic membrane- less ribonucleoprotein granules involved in RNA metabolism through the coordinated storage of mRNAs encoding regulatory functions (PubMed:25995375, PubMed:27342281, PubMed:31422817). Plays a role in P- bodies to coordinate the storage of translationally inactive mRNAs in the cytoplasm and prevent their degradation (PubMed:27342281). In the process of mRNA degradation, plays a role in mRNA decapping (PubMed:16364915). Blocks autophagy in nutrient-rich conditions by repressing the expression of ATG-related genes through degradation of their transcripts (PubMed:26098573). |

Background
DDX6 (DEAD/H BOX 6), also known as HLR2 or p54, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the DDX6 gene. DDX6 belongs to the DEAD box family of putative RNA helicases that contain a characteristic asp-glu-ala-asp (DEAD) box motif (Seto et al., 1995). Tunnacliffe et al. (1993) assigned the DDX6 gene more precisely using a panel of sequence tagged sites (STSs) representing 30 markers previously assigned to 11q23. Using mass spectroscopy, Fenger-Gron et al. (2005) found that RCK, EDC3 (YJDC), and HEDLS (RCD8) coimmunopurified with DCP1A and DCP2 from HEK293 cell lysates. Overexpression of DCP2, RCK, or EDC3 in HeLa cells reduced the association of endogenous DCP1A and XRN1 with cytoplasmic P bodies.
