== Function == | |||
[[ | '''DNA ligase''' (LigD) is an enzyme which repairs single-stranded breaks in a double-stranded DNA. LigD is activated, in a species-dependent manner, by hydrolysis of ATP or NAD+. See also [[ATP-dependent DNA ligase from bacteriophage T7]].<br /> | ||
* Mammalian '''LigD I''' ligates the nascent DNA of the lagging strand.<br /> | |||
* '''LigD III''' complexes with XRCC1 in the process of nucleotide excision repair.<br /> | |||
* '''LigD IV''' complexes with XRCC4 and catalyzes the last step in the non-homologous DNA end joining.<br /> | |||
See more details in [[ATP-Dependent DNA Ligase (Bacteriophage T7)]]. | |||

A specific point mutation (46BR in the mouse Lig1 gene) in DNA ligase I has also been linked as a cause for genome instability and cancer in humans. One possible reason for this is the accumulation of DNA fragments that are no longer ligated by the mutant DNA ligase I enzyme. | A specific point mutation (46BR in the mouse Lig1 gene) in DNA ligase I has also been linked as a cause for genome instability and cancer in humans.

Human LigD IV contains several domains: DNA-binding domain (residues 1-240); adenylation domain (residues 268-405) and the ca. 100 amino acid long BRCT motifs (residues 654-911). In the ATP-dependent LigD the ATP binds between 2 symmetry related LigD molecules. | |||
