Molecular Microbiology, 2001 DNA ligases join breaks in the phosphodiester backbone of DNA molecules and are used in many essential reactions within the cell. All DNA ligases follow the same reaction mechanism, but they may use either ATP or NAD+ as a cofactor. All Bacteria (eubacteria) contain NAD+‐dependent DNA ligases, and the uniqueness of these enzymes to Bacteria makes them ...

Escherichia coli DNA ligase B may mitigate damage from oxidative stress. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Escherichia coli encodes two DNA ligases, ligase A, which is essential under normal laboratory growth conditions, and ligase B, which is not. Here we report potential functions of ligase B.

High-fidelity DNA ligation enforces accurate Okazaki fragment maturation during DNA replication
Nature Communications, 2021 DNA ligase 1 (LIG1) finalizes eukaryotic nuclear DNA synthesis by sealing Okazaki fragments using DNA end-joining reactions. Here the authors, by studying an engineered low-fidelity LIG1, reveal that LIG1 is a highly accurate DNA ligase in vivo.

Structures of LIG1 that engage with mutagenic mismatches inserted by polβ in base excision repair
Nature Communications, 2022 Ligase I seals two ends of DNA during DNA repair and replication. Here — solving structures of Ligase I with imperfect DNA harboring mismatches incorporated by DNA polymerase — the authors reveal how the repair proteins maintain fidelity at final ...

DNA Ligase I, the Replicative DNA Ligase [PDF]
, 2012 Multiple DNA ligation events are required to join the Okazaki fragments generated during lagging strand DNA synthesis. In eukaryotes, this is primarily carried out by members of the DNA ligase I family. The C-terminal catalytic region of these enzymes is composed of three domains: a DNA binding domain, an adenylation domain and an OB-fold domain.

Thermostable DNA ligases from hyperthermophiles in biotechnology
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 DNA ligase is an important enzyme ubiquitous in all three kingdoms of life that can ligate DNA strands, thus playing essential roles in DNA replication, repair and recombination in vivo.

Identification of the DNA repair defects in a case of Dubowitz syndrome. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Dubowitz Syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder with a unique set of clinical features including microcephaly and susceptibility to tumor formation. Although more than 140 cases of Dubowitz syndrome have been reported since 1965, the genetic defects

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 to impaired but not ablated activity.
