Abstract excerpt
Finalization of eukaryotic nuclear DNA replication relies on DNA ligase 1 (LIG1) to seal DNA nicks generated during Okazaki Fragment Maturation (OFM). Using a mutational reporter in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we previously showed that mutation of the high-fidelity magnesium binding site of LIG1Cdc9 strongly increases the rate of single-base insertions. Here we show that this rate is increased across the nuclear...
