Rnl1 is in fact a tRNA repair enzyme used by the T4 bacteriophage to escape hosts antiviral response. Enzyme functioning requires ATP and divalent metal ions. The T4 ligase repairs the tRNA<sup>Lys</sup> by joining its 5'-PO<sub>4</sub> and 3'-OH groups via series of three nucleotidyl transfer steps in a ping-pong enzymatic mechanism. First, the Lys<sup>99</sup> of the enzyme reacts with the a phosphorus of ATP and forms a covalent intermediate: ligase-(lysyl-N)-AMP. Pyrophosphate is also produced during this step. Secondly, AMP is transferred from the intermediate to the 5'- PO<sub>4</sub> terminus of a tRNA to form an tRNA-adenylate intermediate (AppRNA). Finally, the ligase catalyzes the attack of the 3'-OH terminus of the tRNA on the tRNA-adenylate and the two termini are joined via a phosphodiester bond, the AMP is released.

==Chemical reaction==
:The T4 RNA ligase (Enzyme class : E.C.6.5.1.3) catalyzes the formation of phosphodiester bonds between the 5'-phosphate terminus of single-stranded nucleic acid (i) and the 3'-hydroxyl terminus of single-stranded nucleic acid (j).
 
 
:'''ATP + ribonucleotide<sub>(i)</sub> + ribonucleotide<sub>(j)</sub> → AMP + diphosphate + ribonucleotide<sub>(i+j)</sub>'''
 
 
:Rnl1 catalysis involves three steps :
::* In the first step, Lys99 in the conserved motif KX(D/N)G (motif I) reacts with the α-phosphate of ATP or ATP analogue (NAD or GTP) and forms a covalent bond. This step gives a covalent intermediate ligase-(lysyl-N)-AMP and a pyrophosphate. Lys99, which is responsible for this step, is the essential residue involved in the catalytic mechanism.<ref>Shuman, S., and Schwer, B. (1995) Mol. Microbiol. 17, 405–410</ref>
::* In the second step, AMP is transferred from the covalent intermediate to the 5'-phosphate RNA, forming a tRNA-adenylate intermediate (AppRNA). Arg54, by stabilizing and orienting the RNA phosphate by hydrogen bonding, is essential for this RNA adenylation.<ref name="main_article" />
::* In the third step, the 3'-hydroxyl RNA attacks the 5'-phosphate RNA. A phosphodiester bond is formed and an AMP is released.
