Responsible for tethering the catalytic subunit of DNA polymerase to DNA during high-speed replication (PubMed:10535942). Interaction with the sliding-clamp-loader opens the sliding clamp so that it can be loaded around the DNA template (PubMed:22194570). During transcription, encircles the DNA and tethers host RNA polymerase (RNAP) to it (PubMed:33602900).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_04161] Publication Abstract from PubMed DNA ligases play essential roles in DNA replication and repair. Bacteriophage T4 DNA ligase is the first ATP-dependent ligase enzyme to be discovered and is widely used in molecular biology, but its structure remained unknown. Our crystal structure of T4 DNA ligase bound to DNA shows a compact alpha-helical DNA-binding domain (DBD), nucleotidyl-transferase (NTase) domain, and OB-fold domain, which together fully encircle DNA. The DBD of T4 DNA ligase exhibits remarkable structural homology to the core DNA-binding helices of the larger DBDs from eukaryotic and archaeal DNA ligases, but it lacks additional structural components required for protein interactions. T4 DNA ligase instead has a flexible loop insertion within the NTase domain, which binds tightly to the T4 sliding clamp gp45 in a novel alpha-helical PIP-box conformation. Thus, T4 DNA ligase represents a prototype of the larger eukaryotic and archaeal DNA ligases, with a uniquely evolved mode of protein interaction that may be important for efficient DNA replication. T4 DNA ligase structure reveals a prototypical ATP-dependent ligase with a unique mode of sliding clamp interaction.,Shi K, Bohl TE, Park J, Zasada A, Malik S, Banerjee S, Tran V, Li N, Yin Z, Kurniawan F, Orellana K, Aihara H Nucleic Acids Res. 2018 Aug 29. pii: 5085977. doi: 10.1093/nar/gky776.
