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. | |
