Facts about Spliceosome RNA helicase DDX39B.
TREX is recruited to spliced mRNAs with a transcription- independent mechanism, binds to mRNA upstream of the exon-junction complex (EJC) and can be recruited in a splicing- and cap-dependent manner to a region near the 5' end of the mRNA where it functions in mRNA export to the cytoplasm via the TAP/NFX1 pathway. May undergo several rounds of ATP hydrolysis during assembly of TREX to induce subsequent loading of elements like ALYREF/THOC and CHTOP on mRNA.

Nucleus. Nucleus speckle. Cytoplasm. Can translocate to the cytoplasm in the presence of MX1. TREX complex assembly seems to occur in regions surrounding nuclear speckles known as perispeckles.
