Identification of a novel motif in DNA ligases exemplified by DNA ligase IV [PDF]

, 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

Specific recognition of a multiply phosphorylated motif in the DNA repair scaffold XRCC1 by the FHA domain of human PNK. [PDF]

, 2009
Short-patch repair of DNA single-strand breaks and gaps (SSB) is coordinated by XRCC1, a scaffold protein that recruits the DNA polymerase and DNA ligase required for filling and sealing the damaged strand.

Direct comparison of nick-joining activity of the nucleic acid ligases from bacteriophage T4 [PDF]

, 2006
The genome of bacteriophage T4 encodes three polynucleotide ligases, which seal the backbone of nucleic acids during infection of host bacteria. The T4Dnl (T4 DNA ligase) and two RNA ligases [T4Rnl1 (T4 RNA ligase 1) and T4Rnl2] join a diverse array of ...

Label-free electrochemical monitoring of DNA ligase activity [PDF]

, 2008
This study presents a simple, label-free electrochemical technique for the monitoring of DNA ligase activity. DNA ligases are enzymes that catalyze joining of breaks in the backbone of DNA and are of significant scientific interest due to their essential

The ubiquitin E3/E4 ligase, UBE4A, fine-tunes protein ubiquitylation and accumulation at sites of DNA damage facilitating double-strand break repair [PDF]

, 2018
Double-strand breaks (DSBs) are critical DNA lesions that robustly activate the elaborate DNA damage response (DDR) network. We identified a critical player in DDR fine-tuning - the E3/E4 ubiquitin ligase, UBE4A.

Ribonucleolytic resection is required for repair of strand displaced nonhomologous end-joining intermediates [PDF]

, 2013
Nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) pathways repair DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) in eukaryotes and many prokaryotes, although it is not reported to operate in the third domain of life, archaea. Here, we describe a complete NHEJ complex, consisting of DNA

Detection of ligation products of DNA linkers with 5'-OH ends by denaturing PAGE silver stain. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
To explore if DNA linkers with 5'-hydroxyl (OH) ends could be joined by commercial T4 and E. coli DNA ligase, these linkers were synthesized by using the solid-phase phosphoramidite method and joined by using commercial T4 and E. coli DNA ligases.

Regulation of alphaherpesvirus infections by the ICP0 family of proteins [PDF]

, 2013
Immediate-early protein ICP0 of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is important for the regulation of lytic and latent viral infection. Like the related proteins expressed by other alphaherpesviruses, ICP0 has a zinc-stabilized RING finger domain that ...

Bacteriophage origin of some minimal ATP-dependent DNA ligases: a new structure from Burkholderia pseudomallei with striking similarity to Chlorella virus ligase

Scientific Reports, 2021
DNA ligases, the enzymes responsible for joining breaks in the phosphodiester backbone of DNA during replication and repair, vary considerably in size and structure.

Analysis of ligation and DNA binding by Escherichia coli DNA ligase (LigA). [PDF]

, 2005
NAD+-dependent DNA ligases are essential enzymes in bacteria, with the most widely studied of this class of enzymes being LigA from Escherichia coli. NAD+-dependent DNA ligases comprise several discrete structural domains, including a BRCT domain at the ...
