| - | ATP-dependent DNA ligase from bacteriophage T7 amends a fractured DNA strand through esterification of a 5'- phosphoryl to a 3'- hydroxyl group<ref name="Bacteriophage"/>. This mechanism occurs with the aid of ATP in several steps. First, the ligase is activated through a <scene name='56/567310/Amp_complex/1'>phosphoramidate bond with a lysine residue</scene> in the active site (Lys 34). A pyrophosphate leaves and the enzyme-AMP complex is formed. Next, the AMP is transferred to the 5' phosphate group at the nick in the DNA. Finally, T7 ligase creates the phosphodiester bond between the 5' -phosphoryl and the 3' – hydroxyl group, with AMP being freed<ref name="Crystal"/>. All ATP-dependent DNA ligases contain a conserved amino acid sequence of KxDGxR<ref name="Bacteriophage"/>. This includes the lysine residue which binds the ATP in the groove between the two domains. | + | ATP-dependent DNA ligase from bacteriophage T7 amends a fractured DNA strand through esterification of a 5'- phosphoryl to a 3'- hydroxyl group<ref name="Bacteriophage"/>.
