Abstract excerpt
The joining of Okazaki fragments during lagging strand DNA replication in mammalian cells is believed to be due to DNA ligase I. This enzyme is composed of a 78-kDa carboxyl-terminal catalytic domain and a 24-kDa amino-terminal region that is not required for ligation activity in vitro. Extracts of the human cell line 46BR.1G1, in which DNA ligase I is mutationally altered, supported aberrant in vitro SV40 DNA...
