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.

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 ...

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.

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

Single-stranded DNA library preparation from highly degraded DNA using T4 DNA ligase
Nucleic Acids Research, 2017 DNA library preparation for high-throughput sequencing of genomic DNA usually involves ligation of adapters to double-stranded DNA fragments. However, for highly degraded DNA, especially ancient DNA, library preparation has been found to be more ...

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

Nature Communications, 2019 African swine fever virus (ASFV) is contagious and can cause highly lethal disease in pigs. ASFV DNA ligase (AsfvLIG) is one of the most error-prone ligases identified to date; it catalyzes DNA joining reaction during DNA repair process of ASFV and plays
