NAD+-dependent DNA ligases of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Streptomyces coelicolor [PDF]
, 2003 Sequencing of the genomes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv and Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) identified putative genes for an NAD+-dependent DNA ligase. We have cloned both open reading frames and overexpressed the protein products in Escherichia coli.

SUMOylation inhibits FOXM1 activity and delays mitotic transition [PDF]
, 2014 The forkhead box transcription factor FOXM1 is an essential effector of G2/M-phase transition, mitosis and the DNA damage response. As such, it is frequently deregulated during tumorigenesis. Here we report that FOXM1 is dynamically modified by SUMO1 but

DNA Ligase I Is Not Essential for Mammalian Cell Viability
Cell Reports, 2014 Summary: Of the three DNA ligases present in all vertebrates, DNA ligase I (Lig1) has been considered essential for ligating Okazaki fragments during DNA replication and thereby essential for cell viability.

Cells, 2022 SCF-dependent proteolysis was first discovered via genetic screening of budding yeast almost 25 years ago. In recent years, more and more functions of SCF (Skp1-Cullin 1-F-box) ligases have been described, and we can expect the number of studies on this ...

An improved protocol for small RNA library construction using High Definition adapters [PDF]
, 2015 Next generation sequencing of small RNA (sRNA) libraries is widely used for studying sRNAs in various biological systems. However, cDNA libraries of sRNAs are biased for molecules that are ligated to adapters more or less efficiently than other molecules.

Plant E3 Ligases and Their Role in Abiotic Stress Response
Cells, 2022 Plants, as sessile organisms, have limited means to cope with environmental changes. Consequently, they have developed complex regulatory systems to ameliorate abiotic stresses im-posed by environmental changes.

A general strategy for discovery of inhibitors and activators of RING and U-box E3 ligases with ubiquitin variants [PDF]
, 2017 RING and U-box E3 ubiquitin ligases regulate diverse eukaryotic processes and have been implicated in numerous diseases, but targeting these enzymes remains a major challenge.

The Inhibitory Effect of Non-Substrate and Substrate DNA on the Ligation and Self-Adenylylation Reactions Catalyzed by T4 DNA Ligase. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 DNA ligases are essential both to in vivo replication, repair and recombination processes, and in vitro molecular biology protocols. Prior characterization of DNA ligases through gel shift assays has shown the presence of a nick site to be essential for ...

UBP12 and UBP13 negatively regulate the activity of the ubiquitin-dependent peptidases DA1, DAR1 and DAR2 [PDF]
, 2020 Protein ubiquitination is a very diverse post-translational modification leading to protein degradation or delocalization, or altering protein activity. In Arabidopsis thaliana, two E3 ligases, BIG BROTHER (BB) and DA2, activate the latent peptidases DA1,

Two-tiered enforcement of high-fidelity DNA ligation
Nature Communications, 2019 DNA ligases catalyze the joining of DNA strands to complete DNA replication, recombination and repair transactions. Here the authors present X-ray structures and kinetic analyses of LIG1 complexes with undamaged and oxidatively damaged DNA that unveil ...
