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 ...

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

The molecular basis of CRL4 ubiquitin ligase architecture, targeting and regulation [PDF]
Members of the CUL4-RBX1-DDB1 (CRL4) E3 ubiquitin ligase family regulate multiple cellular processes including development, transcription, and DNA repair.

Regulation of nucleotide excision repair by UV-DDB: prioritization of damage recognition to internucleosomal DNA [PDF]
How tightly packed chromatin is thoroughly inspected for DNA damage is one of the fundamental unanswered questions in biology. In particular, the effective excision of carcinogenic lesions caused by the ultraviolet (UV) radiation of sunlight depends on ...

The fanconi anemia DNA repair pathway is regulated by an interaction between ubiquitin and the E2-like fold domain of FANCL [PDF]
The Fanconi Anemia (FA) DNA repair pathway is essential for the recognition and repair of DNA interstrand crosslinks (ICL). Inefficient repair of these ICL can lead to leukemia and bone marrow failure.

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

The phage T4 DNA ligase in vivo improves the survival-coupled bacterial mutagenesis
Background Microbial mutagenesis is an important avenue to acquire microbial strains with desirable traits for industry application. However, mutagens either chemical or physical used often leads narrow library pool due to high lethal rate.

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

SUMO chain-induced dimerization activates RNF4 [PDF]
Dimeric RING E3 ligases interact with protein substrates and conformationally restrain the ubiquitin-E2-conjugating enzyme thioester complex such that it is primed for catalysis.

DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are one of the most lethal forms of DNA damage that is not efficiently repaired in prokaryotes. Certain microorganisms can handle chromosomal DSBs using the error-prone non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) system and ...
