def: "Generating a movement along a single- or double-stranded RNA molecule, driven by ATP hydrolysis." [GOC:bm, PMID:22713318]
comment: Note that some gene products that possess DNA translocase activity, such as members of the FtsK/SpoIIIE family, can be fixed in place by interactions with other components of the cell; the relative movement between the protein and DNA bound to it results in movement of the DNA within the cell, often across a membrane.
