Subcellular location [CC]Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Cytoplasmic granule. Cytoplasm, cytosol {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q91VR5}. Mitochondrion {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q91VR5}. Note=Localized with MBNL1, TIAL1 and YBX1 in stress granules upon stress. Localized with CSTF2 in cleavage bodies. Forms large aggregates called DDX1 bodies. Relocalized into multiple foci (IR-induced foci or IRIF) after IR treatment, a process that depends on the presence of chromosomal DNA and/or RNA-DNA duplexes. Relocalized at sites of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) in an ATM-dependent manner after IR treatment. Colocalized with RELA in the nucleus upon TNF-alpha induction. Enters into the nucleus in case of active transcription while it accumulates in cytosol when transcription level is low (PubMed:24608264). Colocalizes in the cytosol with DDX21, DHX36 and TICAM1. Colocalizes in the mitochondria with TICAM1 and poly(I:C) RNA ligand. The multi-helicase-TICAM1 complex may translocate to the mitochondria upon poly(I:C) stimulation (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q91VR5, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24608264}.;
Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20573827}. Note=(Microbial infection) Relocalized to the cytoplasm with a perinuclear staining pattern in avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV)-infected cells (PubMed:20573827). Required for proper localization of HIV-1 Rev (PubMed:15567440). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15567440, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20573827}.
