Horizontal acquisition of a DNA ligase improves DNA damage tolerance in eukaryotes [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2023 Bdelloid rotifers are part of the restricted circle of multicellular animals that can withstand a wide range of genotoxic stresses at any stage of their life cycle. In this study, bdelloid rotifer Adineta vaga is used as a model to decipher the molecular

The DNA binding domain and the C-terminal region of DNA Ligase IV specify its role in V(D)J recombination. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 DNA Ligase IV is responsible for the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSB), including DSBs that are generated during V(D)J recombination. Like other DNA ligases, Ligase IV contains a catalytic core with three subdomains-the DNA binding (DBD), the ...

Identification of a novel motif in DNA ligases exemplified by DNA ligase IV [PDF]
DNA Repair, 2006 DNA ligase IV is an essential protein that functions in DNA non-homologous end-joining, the major mechanism that rejoins DNA double-strand breaks in mammalian cells. LIG4 syndrome represents a human disorder caused by mutations in DNA ligase IV that lead

The Sole DNA Ligase in Entamoeba histolytica Is a High-Fidelity DNA Ligase Involved in DNA Damage Repair [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2018 The protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica is exposed to reactive oxygen and nitric oxide species that have the potential to damage its genome. E. histolytica harbors enzymes involved in DNA repair pathways like Base and Nucleotide Excision Repair. The

The phage T4 DNA ligase in vivo improves the survival-coupled bacterial mutagenesis [PDF]
Microbial Cell Factories, 2019 Background Microbial mutagenesis is an important avenue to acquire microbial strains with desirable traits for industry application. However, mutagens either chemical or physical used often leads narrow library pool due to high lethal rate.

European Journal of Biochemistry, 1992 A novel form of rat liver DNA ligase (molecular mass 100 kDa) can be differentiated from DNA ligase I by several biochemical parameters. It is a more heat‐labile enzyme and unable to join bluntended DNA, even in the presence of poly(ethylene glycol) concentrations which stimulate such joining by DNA ligase I and T4 DNA ligase.

The decrease in Rad51 and DNA ligase IV nuclear protein expression in Msh2 knockdown HC11 cells induced the low CRISPR/Cas9-mediated knock-in efficiency at the β-casein gene locus [PDF]
Animal BioscienceObjective Successful gene editing technology is crucial in molecular biology and related fields. An essential part of an efficient knock-in system is increasing homologous recombination (HR) efficiency in the double-strand break (DSB) repair pathways ...
