Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli DNA ligase (LigA) is the prototype of the NAD(+)-dependent class of DNA ligases found in all bacteria. Here we report the characterization of E.coli LigB, a second NAD(+)-dependent DNA ligase identified by virtue of its sequence similarity to LigA. LigB differs from LigA in that it lacks the BRCA1 C-terminus domain (BRCT) and two of the four Zn-binding cysteines that are present in LigA and all...
