DNA ligase

UniProtKB accession:  P35970

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Very low-fidelity DNA ligase that seals nicks in double-stranded DNA during DNA repair (PubMed:15938630). Together with the viral repair DNA polymerase X, fills the single nucleotide gaps generated by the AP endonuclease (PubMed:15938630). It is not essential for viral replication and recombination (PubMed:15938630). Displays a very low adenylation activity towards DNA with 3'-dideoxy- or 3'-amino-terminated nicks compared to regular nick DNA (PubMed:15938630).
