Developing as assay to screen inhibitors for various ATP-dependent ligases [PDF]

, 2009
DNA ligases (EC.6.5.1.1) are key enzymes that catalyze the formation of phosphodiester bonds at single-stranded or double-stranded breaks between adjacent 5’-PO4 and 3’-OH groups of DNA. These enzymes are essential guardians of genomic integrity and have

Ubiquitin Ligases at the Heart of Skeletal Muscle Atrophy Control

Molecules, 2021
Skeletal muscle loss is a detrimental side-effect of numerous chronic diseases that dramatically increases mortality and morbidity. The alteration of protein homeostasis is generally due to increased protein breakdown while, protein synthesis may also be

Characterisation of ATP-Dependent Mur Ligases Involved in the Biogenesis of Cell Wall Peptidoglycan in Mycobacterium tuberculosis [PDF]

, 2013
ATP-dependent Mur ligases (Mur synthetases) play essential roles in the biosynthesis of cell wall peptidoglycan (PG) as they catalyze the ligation of key amino acid residues to the stem peptide at the expense of ATP hydrolysis, thus representing ...

Structural characterisation of methanogen pseudomurein cell wall peptide ligases homologous to bacterial MurE/F murein peptide ligases. [PDF]

, 2022
Archaea have diverse cell wall types, yet none are identical to bacterial peptidoglycan (murein). Methanogens Methanobacteria and Methanopyrus possess cell walls of pseudomurein, a structural analogue of murein.

Ubiquitin ligases and beyond [PDF]

, 2012
First paragraph (this article has no abstract): In a review published in 2004 [1] and that still repays reading today, Cecile Pickart traced the evolution of research on ubiquitination from its origins in the proteasomal degradation of proteins through ...

SUMO chain-induced dimerization activates RNF4 [PDF]

, 2014
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.

Bacterial DNA ligases

, 2001
DNA ligases join breaks in the phosphodiester backbone of DNA molecules and are used in many essential reactions within the cell. All DNA ligases follow the same reaction mechanism, but they may use either ATP or NAD+ as a cofactor.
