Kinetic and structural insights into the requirement of fungal tRNA ligase for a 2'-phosphate end. [PDF]
Fungal RNA ligase (LIG) is an essential tRNA splicing enzyme that joins 3′-OH,2′-PO4 and 5′-PO4 RNA ends to form a 2′-PO4,3′-5′ phosphodiester splice junction. Sealing entails three divalent cation-dependent adenylate transfer steps.

Repair of Alkylated Bacteriophage T4 Deoxyribonucleic Acid by a Mechanism Involving Polynucleotide Ligase [PDF]
Methyl methanesulfate-induced lesions in bacteriophage T4 are repaired primarily by a mechanism involving polynucleotide ligase. Apparently, other recombinational and ultraviolet repair functions aren't involved.

Role of the DNA ligase III zinc finger in polynucleotide binding and ligation [PDF]
Mammalian DNA ligase III exists as two distinct isoforms denoted alpha and beta. Both forms possess a motif that is homologous to the putative zinc finger present in poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase. Here, the role of this motif in the binding and ligation of nicked DNA and RNA substrates in vitro has been examined in both isoforms.

Purification of wheat germ RNA ligase. I. Characterization of a ligase-associated 5'-hydroxyl polynucleotide kinase activity. [PDF]
An RNA ligase that catalyzes the formation of a 2'-phosphomonoester-3',5'-phosphodiester bond in the presence of ATP and Mg2+ was purified approximately 6000-fold from raw wheat germ. A 5'-hydroxyl polynucleotide kinase activity copurified with RNA ligase through all chromatographic steps.

Natural Allelic Variations in IbCHYR1-IbZnFR Complex Regulate Fusarium Root Rot Resistance in Sweet Potato. [PDF]
FfRlpA2, a conserved Fusarium effector, functions as a protease inhibitor by hijacking the E3 ubiquitin ligase IbCHYR1 to degrade the resistance factor IbZnFR, thereby promoting Fusarium pathogenicity. Conversely, the high dosage Pro::IbZnFRHap2 allele was associated with resistance to root rot disease.
