Human DNA Ligase I

Drag the structure with the mouse to rotate

DNA ligases are a group of proteins responsible for the joining DNA fragments which arise from various cellular events: ligating Okazaki fragments from replication, various repair mechanisms, and recombination. [1] The ligation proceeds via a three step process uniting the 3'-OH to the 5'-phosphate with an ATP or NAD+ cofactor. [2] DNA ligase I is a member of this family expressed throughout eukaryotes. Included is a summary of its functionality covering the conserved structural domains, ligating mechanism, and involvement in replication as well as DNA repair mechanisms.

Structural Domains

DNA ligase I has four structural domains spread over a 919 residue monomeric protein. Three of the four domains are highlighted in the . The DNA-binding domain (DBD) is in red; the adenylation domain (AdD), green; the OB-fold domain (OBD), yellow; and the DNA, grey. The first 232 residues containing domains that interact with other regulative proteins were excluded from the source structure that Ellenberger and colleagues studied.[3]
