Abstract excerpt
Pseudomonas aeruginosa DNA ligase D (PaeLigD) exemplifies a family of bacterial DNA end-joining proteins that consist of a ligase domain fused to a polymerase domain and a putative nuclease module. The LigD polymerase preferentially adds single ribonucleotides at blunt DNA ends and, as we show here, is also capable of adding up to 4 ribonucleotides to a DNA primer-template. We report that PaeLigD has an intrinsic...
