DNA binding and unwinding by Hel308 helicase requires dual functions of a winged helix domain

Hel308 helicases promote genome stability linked to DNA replication in archaea, and have homologues in metazoans. In the crystal structure of archaeal Hel308 bound to a tailed DNA duplex, core helicase domains encircle single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) in a “ratchet” for directional translocation. A winge...
