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.

PARP-3 and APLF function together to accelerate nonhomologous end joining [PDF]

, 2010
PARP-3 is a member of the ADP-ribosyl transferase superfamily of unknown function. We show that PARP-3 is stimulated by DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) in vitro and functions in the same pathway as the poly (ADP-ribose)-binding protein APLF to accelerate

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

Impact of DNA ligase IV on the fidelity of end joining in human cells [PDF]

, 2003
A DNA ligase IV (LIG4)‐null human pre‐B cell line and human cell lines with hypomorphic mutations in LIG4 are significantly impaired in the frequency and fidelity of end joining using an in vivo plasmid assay.

DNA ligase 1 deficient plants display severe growth defects and delayed repair of both DNA single and double strand breaks

BMC Plant Biology, 2009
Background DNA ligase enzymes catalyse the joining of adjacent polynucleotides and as such play important roles in DNA replication and repair pathways. Eukaryotes possess multiple DNA ligases with distinct roles in DNA metabolism, with clear differences ...

A case report of an adolescent with ligase-4 deficiency and the potential dangers of ionizing radiation in this rare patient population

Radiology Case Reports, 2021
DNA ligase IV deficiency is a rare disorder characterized by mutations in the LIG4 gene. Mutations in this gene cause a wide array of phenotypes, many of which are fatal early in life. We present an adolescent patient with heterozygous LIG4 mutations and

Evaluation of NAD(+)-dependent DNA ligase of mycobacteria as a potential target for antibiotics [PDF]

, 2007
Mycobacteria contain genes for several DNA ligases, including ligA, which encodes a NAD+-dependent enzyme that has been postulated to be a target for novel antibacterial compounds.

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

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 ...
