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 |
