DNA ligase is a type of enzyme that facilitates the joining of DNA strands together by catalyzing the formation of a phosphodiester bond.It plays a role in repairing single-strand breaks in duplex DNA in living organisms, but some forms (such as DNA ligase IV) may specifically repair double-strand breaks (i.e. a break in both complementary strands of DNA).
DNA ligase 1 also DNA ligase I, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the LIG1 gene. DNA ligase 1 is the only known eukaryotic DNA ligase involved in both DNA replication and repair , making it the most studied of the ligases .
S phase (Synthesis phase) is the phase of the cell cycle in which DNA is replicated, occurring between G 1 phase and G 2 phase. [1] Since accurate duplication of the genome is critical to successful cell division, the processes that occur during S-phase are tightly regulated and widely conserved.
Since only a small number of double-strand breaks are tolerated, and only a small number can be repaired, enough ligation failures could be lethal to the cell. Further research implicates the supplementary role of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) to DNA ligase I's function of joining Okazaki fragments. When the PCNA binding site on DNA ...
The discovery of DNA ligase dates back to 1967 and was an important event in the field of molecular biology. [1] Ligation in the laboratory is normally performed using T4 DNA ligase. It is broadly used in vitro due to its capability of joining sticky-ended fragments as well as blunt-ended fragments. [2]
DNA ligase is an enzyme that joins together ends of DNA molecules. Although commonly represented as joining two pairs of ends at once, as in the ligation of restriction enzyme fragments, ligase can also join the ends on only one of the two strands (for example, when the other strand is already continuous or lacks a terminal phosphate necessary for ligation).
Instead, the pre-RC that is formed during the G 1 of the cell cycle is only activated to unwind the DNA and initiate replication after the cells pass from the G 1 to the S phase of the cell cycle. [2] Once the initiation complex is formed and the cells pass into the S phase, the complex then becomes a replisome.
