Biosynthesis of mammalian DNA ligase.

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 1985
A monospecific antibody against calf thymus DNA ligase composed of a single polypeptide with Mr = 130,000 cross-reacts with rodent and calf thymus DNA ligases. The antibody precipitates a single Mr = 200,000 polypeptide from detergent lysates of [3H] leucine-labeled mouse Ehrlich tumor cells and calf thymocytes. Pulse-chase experiments show that the Mr

A synthetic benzoxazine dimer derivative targets c‐Myc to inhibit colorectal cancer progression

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Benzoxazine dimer derivatives bind to the bHLH‐LZ region of c‐Myc, disrupting c‐Myc/MAX complexes, which are evaluated from SAR analysis. This increases ubiquitination and reduces cellular c‐Myc. Impairing DNA repair mechanisms is shown through proteomic analysis.

"Cullin 4 makes its mark on chromatin"

open access: yesCell Division, 2006
Cullin 4 (Cul4), a member of the evolutionally conserved cullin protein family, serves as a scaffold to assemble multisubunit ubiquitin E3 ligase complexes.

Survivin and Aurora Kinase A control cell fate decisions during mitosis

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aurora A interacts with survivin during mitosis and regulates its centromeric role. Loss of Aurora A activity mislocalises survivin, the CPC and BubR1, leading to disruption of the spindle checkpoint and triggering premature mitotic exit, which we refer to as ‘mitotic slippage’.

Dynamics of phosphodiester synthesis by DNA ligase [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2008
Ligases are essential actors in DNA replication, recombination, and repair by virtue of their ability to seal breaks in the phosphodiester backbone. Ligation proceeds through a nicked DNA-adenylate intermediate (AppDNA), which must be sealed quickly to avoid creating a potentially toxic lesion.

Reduced vascular leakage correlates with breast carcinoma T regulatory cell infiltration but not with metastatic propensity

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
A mouse model for vascular normalization and a human breast cancer cohort were studied to understand the relationship between vascular leakage and tumor immune suppression. For this, endothelial and immune cell RNAseq, staining for vascular function, and immune cell profiling were employed.

DNA Ligase C and Prim-PolC participate in base excision repair in mycobacteria

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
Ligase D is a conserved DNA repair protein complex that repairs double-strand breaks in stationary phase prokaryotes. Here the authors show that orthologous Ligase C has a role in base excision repair during stationary phase.

Hemi-methylated DNA regulates DNA methylation inheritance through allosteric activation of H3 ubiquitylation by UHRF1

open access: yeseLife, 2016
The epigenetic inheritance of DNA methylation requires UHRF1, a histone- and DNA-binding RING E3 ubiquitin ligase that recruits DNMT1 to sites of newly replicated DNA through ubiquitylation of histone H3.

DCAF26, an adaptor protein of Cul4-based E3, is essential for DNA methylation in Neurospora crassa. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2010
DNA methylation is involved in gene silencing and genome stability in organisms from fungi to mammals. Genetic studies in Neurospora crassa previously showed that the CUL4-DDB1 E3 ubiquitin ligase regulates DNA methylation via histone H3K9 trimethylation.

DNA unwinding and inhibition of T4 DNA ligase by anthracyclines

open access: yesNucleic Acids Research, 1988
The ability to alter DNA tertiary structure of ten anthracycline derivatives whose antitumor potency is known was studied by an assay that makes use of nicked circular DNA and bacteriophage T4 DNA ligase. This assay allows the detection of tertiary structure alterations caused by DNA binding of both intercalating and non-intercalating drugs.
