Characterization of a Thermophilic ATP-Dependent DNA Ligase from the Euryarchaeon Pyrococcus horikoshii [PDF]
ABSTRACT Archaea encode a DNA ligase composed of a C-terminal catalytic domain typical of ATP-dependent ligases plus an N-terminal domain similar to that found in eukaryotic cellular and poxvirus DNA ligases. All archaeal DNA ligases characterized to date have ATP-dependent adenylyltransferase and nick-joining activities. However,

T4 DNA ligase and the ubiquitin activating enzyme (E1), catalyze the synthesis of ATP beta,gamma-bisphosphonate derivatives. Concerning T4 DNA ligase: (i) etidronate (pC(OH)(CH(3))p) displaced the AMP moiety of the complex E-AMP in a concentration dependent manner; (ii) the K(m) values and the rate of synthesis k(cat) (s(-1)), determined for the ...

A gene encoding a putative ATP-dependent DNA ligase was identified in the genome of the hyperthermophilic archaeon Sulfolobus shibatae and expressed in Escherichia coli. The 601 amino acid recombinant polypeptide was a monomeric protein capable of strand joining on a singly nicked DNA substrate in the presence of ATP ( K(m)=34 micro mu) and a divalent ...

A role for the ATP-dependent DNA ligase Lig E of Neisseria gonorrhoeae in biofilm formation [PDF]
Abstract The ATP-dependent DNA ligase Lig E is present as an accessory DNA ligase in numerous proteobacterial genomes, including many disease-causing species. Here we have constructed a genomic Lig E knock-out in the obligate human pathogen Neisseria gonorrhoeae and characterised its growth and infection characteristics.

Bleomycin-induced DNA repair by Saccharomyces cerevisiae ATP-dependent polydeoxyribonucleotide ligase [PDF]
In contrast to ligase-deficient (cdc9) Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which did not rejoin bleomycin-induced DNA breaks, ligase-proficient (CDC9) yeast cells eliminated approximately 90% of DNA breaks within 90 to 120 min after treatment. Experimental conditions restricted enzymatic removal of the unusual 3'-phosphoglycolate termini in DNA cleaved by ...

ATP-dependent DNA ligases. [PDF]
By catalyzing the joining of breaks in the phosphodiester backbone of duplex DNA, DNA ligases play a vital role in the diverse processes of DNA replication, recombination and repair. Three related classes of ATP-dependent DNA ligase are readily apparent in eukaryotic cells.

The minimal Bacillus subtilis nonhomologous end joining repair machinery. [PDF]
It is widely accepted that repair of double-strand breaks in bacteria that either sporulate or that undergo extended periods of stationary phase relies not only on homologous recombination but also on a minimal nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) system ...
