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 ...

Comparative analysis of the end-joining activity of several DNA ligases. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 DNA ligases catalyze the repair of phosphate backbone breaks in DNA, acting with highest activity on breaks in one strand of duplex DNA. Some DNA ligases have also been observed to ligate two DNA fragments with short complementary overhangs or blunt ...
