Elongation/Compaction of Giant DNA Caused by Depletion Interaction with a Flexible Polymer [PDF]
Structural changes in giant DNA induced by the addition of the flexible polymer PEG were examined by the method of single-DNA observation. In dilute DNA conditions, individual DNA assumes a compact state via a discrete coil-globule transition, whereas in concentrated solution, DNA molecules exhibit an extended conformation via macroscopic phase ...

The 2'-5' RNA Ligase of Escherichia coli: Purification, Cloning, and Genomic Disruption [PDF]
An RNA ligase previously detected in extracts of Escherichia coli is capable of joining Saccharomyces cerevisiae tRNA splicing intermediates in the absence of ATP to form a 2-5 phosphodiester linkage (Greer, C., Javor, B., and Abelson, J. (1983) Cell 33,

Nse2, a component of the Smc5-6 complex, is a SUMO ligase required for the response to DNA damage [PDF]
The Schizosaccharomyces pombe SMC proteins Rad18 (Smc6) and Spr18 (Smc5) exist in a high-M(r) complex which also contains the non-SMC proteins Nse1, Nse2, Nse3, and Rad62.

SLC7A11 frequently migrates faster in SDS‐PAGE. The present study found that the high hydrophobicity of SLC7A11 causes its anomalous migration in SDS‐PAGE with a low concentration of acrylamide gel. Replacing isoleucine with asparagine reduced hydrophobicity and restored its normal migration at 55 kDa, revealing the role of hydrophobicity and gel ...

E3-targetPred: Prediction of E3-Target Proteins Using Deep Latent Space Encoding [PDF]
Understanding E3 ligase and target substrate interactions are important for cell biology and therapeutic development. However, experimental identification of E3 target relationships is not an easy task due to the labor-intensive nature of the experiments. In this article, a sequence-based E3-target prediction model is proposed for the first time.

Loss of DNA ligase IV prevents recognition of DNA by double-strand break repair proteins XRCC4 and XLF [PDF]
The repair of DNA double-strand breaks by nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) is essential for maintenance of genomic integrity and cell viability. Central to the molecular mechanism of NHEJ is DNA ligase IV/XRCC4/XLF complex, which rejoins the DNA.

DNA Ligase-Mediated Translation of DNA Into Densely Functionalized Nucleic Acid Polymers
We developed a method to translate DNA sequences into densely functionalized nucleic acids by using T4 DNA ligase to mediate the DNA-templated polymerization of 5′-phosphorylated trinucleotides containing a wide variety of appended functional groups ...

We obtained potential bacterial laccase‐like multicopper oxidase (LMCO) sequences through metagenomic sequencing. All sequences exhibited significant differences from known LMCOs in databases. To select the most promising candidates, we performed structure prediction and molecular docking using alphafold2, metal3d and rosetta.

Functional redundancy between DNA ligases I and III in DNA replication in vertebrate cells [PDF]
In eukaryotes, the three families of ATP-dependent DNA ligases are associated with specific functions in DNA metabolism. DNA ligase I (LigI) catalyzes Okazaki-fragment ligation at the replication fork and nucleotide excision repair (NER).
