PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

motifs/domains
  • N-terminal PIP box
  • three cyclin-dependent kinase sites, serine 51, serine 76, and serine 91, and a casein kinase II site, serine 66, these phosphorylation sites reside within an unstructured, proline-rich region between the PIP box and the catalytic domain
  • C-terminal catalytic domain

    basic FUNCTION
  • DNA ligase I,ATP-dependent
  • required for fetal liver erythropoiesis
  • carrying out the final step of Okazaki fragments processing and of many DNA repair pathways
  • participates in DNA replication and excision repair via an interaction with proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), a DNA sliding clamp
  • participates in homology dependent pathways that deal with replication-associated lesions generated when replication fork encounters DNA damage
  • catalyzes the ligation of single-strand breaks to complete DNA replication and repair
  • catalyzes Okazaki-fragment ligation at the replication fork and nucleotide excision repair (NER)
  • its interaction with RFC1 plays a key role in coordinating Okazaki fragment processing and ligation during DNA replication and contributes to the DNA repair functions of LIG1
  • LIG1 and LIG3 cooperate in alternative non-homologous end-joining
  • LIG1 is not absolutely required for cellular DNA replication and repair and either LIG3 or LIG4 can substitute for the role of LIG1 in joining Okazaki fragments
  • LIG3 isoforms were seven times more efficient than LIG1 at ligating nicked DNA under optimal conditions

    small molecule metal binding, nucleotide,
  • ATP dependent
  • requires multiple Mg(2+) ions for catalysis and that an essential Mg(2+) ion binds more tightly to ATP than to the enzyme
  • protein
  • interacting with FEN1 to inhibit DNA synthesis by DNA polymerase delta/PCNA complex
  • LIG1 was critical for DNA repair, but acted in a cooperative manner with LIG3
  • is the main DNA ligase for XRCC1-mediated DNA repair 0)
  • interaction between LIG1 and RFC1 is critical for DNA replication and repair, and replacement of serine 51 with aspartic acid is sufficient to disrupt the association of LIG1 with RFC1
  • functional flexibility and interchangeability between LIG1 and LIG3
  • direct recruitment of UHRF1 by the replication machinery via DNA ligase 1 (LIG1)
